Filing state and federal tax returns every year can be a painful and increasingly complicated process – or not. The IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers at Goodwill make it FREE and EASY to prepare state and federal income taxes – and get the refunds you qualify for.
It’s a fast-growing program available to both families and individuals earning less than $57,000 a year.
Before you schedule your appointment, please read our Scope of Services to see what taxes Goodwill can and cannot prepare.
* On Thursday, March 11, President Biden signed the American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA). This is the bill that included a $1,400 stimulus for many. This law also made a number of changes to the tax code which could effect your 2020 tax return. The IRS is in the process of creating guidance for these tax law changes including changes made to unemployment income received in 2020. We are keeping an eye out for the IRS to release this guidance, and once received, we will begin to advise taxpayers accordingly.

Under the new tax law it is the donor’s responsibility to make a detailed, itemized list of every item donated, and its fair value. By law Goodwill cannot tell you what your donated items are worth.
Consumers are responsible for removing personal data from the hard drives and other storage media before donating to Goodwill. Neither Goodwill nor Dell is liable for data removal or protection. Dell also performs intensive third-party audits of its recycling program – more than 150 first-tier audits have already been performed to ensure the strictest standards are being followed.
