Free Tax Preparation Benefit Available Now for Eligible Members Posted On: Jan 28, 2023 Free Tax Preparation Benefit Available Now for Eligible Members Starting today, NTEU members can visit our website for free access to TaxSlayer tax preparation software for federal and state returns and free electronic filing. As a reminder, the IRS has imposed an income limit on the program of an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $73,000 per filer or return, if filing jointly. For questions about your income, contact Prepare + Prosper at 651-262-2181 or DIYtaxes@prepareandprosper.org before starting your tax return. This non-profit has been providing financial assistance and tax preparation help for more than 50 years and is NTEU’s partner in this member benefit. NOTE: Because there are deductions that could change a person's AGI, TaxSlayer calculates an AGI once the income is finalized, i.e., after you have worked through the entire return. If you use NTEU's TaxSlayer link and you exceed the IRS' income level, you may need to deactivate your account to start a new return using a paid version of TaxSlayer or another service. The software includes federal and state tax returns, as well as schedules. It has built-in assistance to answer your questions, is cloud-based and has a Spanish-language version. All the information you need to take advantage of this benefit is available here, including a link to create your free account on TaxSlayer and information on Prepare + Prosper. You must access the link from our website to get the free version of the software. This year's filing season runs through Tuesday, April 18.
