Hey Indy — are you sitting down? Because we have an important reminder for you: It’s tax season. If that immediately filled you with panic, we’ve got your back with free resources you can use basically up until the last second.
Before we jump into those, check out the IRS’s list of up-to-date tax tips. It covers frequently asked questions like understanding business travel deductions and how military members and their families can receive help with their taxes at no cost.
Now the fun stuff. Indy is home to these free local tax resources:
- Check out the Indianapolis Public Library’s schedule; several branches are hosting free tax prep sessions where you can learn the basics of filing.
- Receive free tax help at the John Boner Neighborhood Center.
- The IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax assistance for those who qualify.
If you’d rather pay a small fee to not have to leave the house, we feel you on that. You can file online with H&R Block’s four different filing options, from free to Premium. Or, file with a tax pro’s help.
