Maria, once a victim of tax preparer fraud, got the most out of her refund.

Free tax help from an IRS-certified tax preparer is a great way to get all the money you deserve. Earn It! Keep It! Save It! is a United Way of Metropolitan Dallas program that helps people who make less than $50,000 with free tax preparation services — including 1040 and 1040A forms that paid preparers don't do for free.

Sites are open January through April in convenient locations in Dallas, Irving and Lewisville. And they're open days, evenings and weekends to help you. To receive updates when sites open and throughout tax season, sign up with your contact information on this page.

For more information about a free tax preparation site near you, call 214.978.0081 or — if you're outside Dallas, Collin, Rockwall and southern Denton counties — 211. United Way of Tarrant County has information about free tax help in Tarrant County. You can also see:
