REP. WARD INFORMING CONSTITUENTS ABOUT FREE ONLINE TAX PREPARATION
Taxpayers Making $57,000 or Less Can Visit IRS.gov to Prepare and E-File Federal Tax Returns at No Cost
(ST. PAUL) — With the month of January almost behind us and tax documents coming in the mail, many people are beginning to turn their attention to filing their taxes. State Representative John Ward (DFL – Brainerd) is informing constituents about the 2012 IRS Free File Program.
Since its inception in 2003, IRS Free File has offered low-to-moderate income taxpayers free access to leading online commercial tax preparation software. This year, every taxpayer with a 2011 Adjusted Gross Income of $57,000 or less may visit www.IRS.gov to prepare, complete and e-file their federal tax returns at no cost.
“I strongly encourage folks who are eligible for the Free File program in our area to take advantage of it," said Rep. Ward. “Filing your taxes can be complicated and difficult and this program can help take some of the stress and cost out of tax season.”
To begin, taxpayers should visit the IRS website - www.irs.gov/freefile. Users will find a list of companies and may either choose the one that fits their needs or utilize the “help me find a company” tool. After selecting a tax software company, users will be transferred to the company's website to prepare, complete and electronically file their federal income tax returns.
If constituents have any additional questions, they can also contact Rep. Ward at (651) 296- 4333, or 1-800-683-4205, by mail at 221 State Office Building, 100 Martin Luther King Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155 or via e-mail at rep.john.ward@house.mn.
