REP. WARD: FILE YOUR FEDERAL TAXES FOR FREE




While many Minnesotans are anxious to get their taxes filed – especially if they expect a return – the high cost of filing can be a barrier. Rep. John Ward is happy to let his constituents know about a free program for filing offered by the Internal Revenue Service.
All taxpayers making less than $57,000 can visit www.IRS.gov and use the industry’s top tax preparation software for free. Users get the step-by-step help they need to prepare, complete and file federal tax returns online – at no cost.
The program is made possible through a partnership between the IRS and the Free File Alliance – a group of industry-leading tax software providers. Since 2003, the Free File program has delivered free tax services to more than 25 million people.
“With so many people not working right now or working fewer hours, every dollar counts," said Ward. “I encourage everyone who meets the income guidelines to use this option – if you use direct deposit you may receive your refund in as little as 10 days.”
To learn more, please get in touch or visit www.freefilealliance.org. You can also contact Rep. John Ward at 651-296-4333 or by email at rep.john.ward@house.mn.
