Red River Parish Residents are invited by United Way of Northwest Louisiana to get help filing their taxes at no cost to the taxpayer. United Way said recently enhanced features to MyFreeTaxes.com allow most filers to complete their taxes in less than one hour. MyFreeTaxes.com is a safe, easy and completely free way for individuals or families earning $66,000 or less to file their state and federal taxes.

“Tax season is a source of confusion and stress for most Americans,” said CEO of United Way NWLA, Dr. Bruce Willson. “Many are worried they’ll make a mistake, won’t get their full refund or will pay too much. With MyFreeTaxes, filers can get support from IRS-certified specialists and cut down the time it takes to complete their returns.”

Taxpayers earning less than $66,000 can enter their data through MyFreeTaxes.com, which links to a secure H&R Block website, making it easy to complete their taxes from home, at work or on mobile devices.

MyFreeTaxes is supported by United Way nationwide. For more details on free tax preparation, or how to volunteer to become a certified volunteer tax preparer, please visit: unitedwaynwla.org/free-tax-preparation/.
