Community members receiving free tax preparation assistance from trained volunteers at a community tax clinic.

For the last fifteen years, our anchor partner, New York Communities Organizing Fund (NYCOFI), has offered a free tax preparation program to assist everyday New Yorkers. Tax preparers speak with clients in detail to ensure that they are obtaining the various tax credits for which they are eligible, ie. the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and/or the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). In 2026, the program will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 to 5 pm, starting Sunday, March 1st, and running through Sunday, April 13th. To sign up for tax prep services, text TAX to (917) 746-5399.
