Great heads-up today from our wonderful alderman, Scott Waugespack:
Tax Prep Chicago is the City’s free income tax assistance program. Through the end of the 2019 tax season, Tax Prep Chicago provided free tax assistance to nearly 18,000 for low-income Chicagoans, putting more than $25 million back into communities across the city.
However, residents need assistance on taxes and financial services year-round. That is why Tax Prep Chicago’s partner, Ladder Up, offers free tax help and financial advice throughout the summer at the Harold Washington Library.
Families earning up to $55,000 and individuals earning up to $30,000 are eligible to take advantage of the free assistance. Services include:
- Tax preparation for current and prior years
- Federal and State amendments
- Tax Clinic intake screenings
- Customized credit reports
- Access to prepaid debit cards and savings accounts
- Referrals to Project Money, a financial coaching program
