“Taxes done for FREE. It is your money.” It is that time of the year again; when tons of Tax “experts” rent office space, dress in flashy suits, use photoshop to make flyers, and proceed to do taxes in the hood while either falsifying documents to get a greater return (wrong) and/or charge you an arm and a leg for said return. They always toss in a free this or that; this year we might see hoverboards, Ipads, GalaxyTabs and etc. Hard working low income citizens miss out of more than $2 billion dollars of their own returns. So please get your taxes done by a certified IRS tax preparer for FREE. I repeat for FREE. The VITA motto is simple, “Earn it, Keep it, Save it”. I’ve never been flashy so here is a website to learn more about this program (you can even volunteer – we teach you how to do taxes), https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Free-Tax-Return-Preparation-for-You-by-Volunteers
