‍To Access Free Tax Preparation:

2. Arrive for your appointment at your schedule date and time and complete a short intake form and a brief interview.
3. Bring all necessary tax documents with you relating to  income and possible deductions, photo ID for the taxpayer and spouse, social security cards or ITIN papers for the taxpayer, spouse and all dependents.  If possible, bring a copy last year’s tax return.

‍If you are preparing and filing your own taxes, you will be able to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit on your 2022 federal tax form, if eligible.  To claim the new Washington State Working Families Tax Credit, you will need to apply to the Washington State Department of Revenue. You can apply using a paper form or an online form.  You can find out more about eligibility and how to apply at: https://workingfamiliescredit.wa.gov/.
