United Way of King County will provide quality free tax preparation services at 15 sites across King County from January 13 to April 15, 2009. Free tax preparation is available for taxpayers who make less than $42,000 and who need basic individual tax returns.

Taxes will be prepared by IRS-trained and certified volunteers and electronically filed for a rapid refund. Multilingual tax preparers will be available at several sites to serve customers who do not speak English. At the sites, tax customers will also be able to sign up for certain public benefits and learn about opportunities they have to make the most of their tax refunds by opening or expanding savings accounts, putting a portion of their refund into a U.S. Savings Bond or improving financial and budgeting skills.
