Free Tax Preparation Help For Low-Income Families
CHICAGO (CBS) ―
One out of every five people who qualify for the earned income tax credit never claim it. Now, the city is offering help to make sure they do.
In Illinois, 170,000 taxpayers failed to apply for the tax credit. The average refund is nearly $5,000.
This year, the city is operating 30 places for low-income families to get their tax returns prepared for free.
