Since that time, the partnership has helped nearly a million people file their returns, bringing more than $1 billion in refunds back to local communities.

MyFreeTaxes.com provides support from IRS-certified specialists and cuts down the time it takes filers to complete their returns. Now, with tax season ending in less than a month, this is a great resource for those who have not yet filed.”
