Forsyth Free Tax

Forsyth Free Tax Program

​

ESR’s Forsyth Free Tax program provides free tax preparation to people with low-to-moderate income.

If you make less than $67,000, you can have your taxes prepared for free through volunteer sites. Income tax returns are prepared by volunteers who are IRS-trained and certified every year and adhere to IRS standards of conduct. Tax returns are electronically filed and refunds (if expected) may be directly deposited to taxpayer bank accounts, ensuring a faster refund.

​

Our tax preparation season has ended for the year, but that doesn't mean you can't get assistance if you need it! After May 15, we will begin taking clients by appointment only to file late returns, amended returns, and other special case tax situations. Please call to make an appointment, AFTER MAY 15.

We love our volunteers, and we accept interest forms year-round! If you'd like to give back to the community and volunteer at a VITA site next year, complete the form below.
