As a result this year's program has expanded and now offers free tax prep services at a number of locations throughout the county. The United Way tax program is completely free of charge – no hidden fees. Refunds can even be e-filed with the IRS in order to receive a rapid refund without any fees.

Go to www.myfreetaxes.com/ uwhunterdon and you have access to a volunteer preparer if you need assistance in filing your return. A nominal fee may apply for household incomes of more than $58,000. This IRS-certified service is available thanks to a unique partnership of United Way of Hunterdon County and the IRS. The goals of this program are to provide savings on tax preparation fees as well as assist individuals and families in the claiming of tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC), and to encourage putting some of your tax refunds into savings accounts. By claiming these credits and splitting refunds, individuals and families have more money to pay bills, pay down debt and achieve or maintain financial stability. Last year, more than $1 million in refunds benefited local families and the local economy! United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on income, health and education. These are the building blocks for a good life - a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. Our goal is to invest in improving lives in Hunterdon County by creating long-lasting changes that prevent problems from happening in the first place.
