Since its inception in 2003, the Free Tax Prep Campaign has served more than 150,000 clients and distributed more than $200 million in refunds, of which $62 million was in Earned Income Tax Credits and $70 million was in Child Tax Credits. This year, we expect to operate over a dozen tax sites across King County and bring additional millions in tax credits and refunds back into the pockets of those who need them most. This 2023 tax season will also be an important year, as the Working Family’s Tax Credit (https://workingfamiliescredit.wa.gov/) is set to launch, and United Way is committed to helping as many people as possible receive the credit.

All this work can only be accomplished with the help of our large, dedicated volunteer force, made up of individuals just like you. Would you consider joining us?

*You will be able to earn up to 14 Continuing Education Credits through VITA service, with the option to earn another 4 units if you choose to certify in additional specialty federal tax law training. Please view the IRS Pub 5362 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5362.pdf) for more information.
