What do I need to do first to have my taxes prepared for FREE? 

CALL 2-1-1 or 352-331-2800 to schedule a convenient appointment at the location nearest you. If your family made less than $50,000 in 2011, you should qualify for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) free service. This could mean up to $5,700 extra back from the IRS when you file your taxes.

Filing electronically is the fastest way to receive a refund payment. When you file electronically, generally, refunds will be deposited to your bank account within 6 - 10 days.

To file electronically on a married-filing-jointly tax return, both spouses must be present to sign the required forms.


Don't forget that Tuesday, April 17, 2012, is the last day to file your 2011 taxes!
