Our tax program is back! See our changes in light of covid-19
For Tax Season 2021, we’ll be offering two models of tax filing services: 1) CONTACTLESS IN-PERSON – working onsite with other volunteers (socially distanced) to file returns dropped off in advance by clients; and 2) VIRTUAL – serving remotely from your personal computer to file returns submitted virtually by clients.
Food Bank For New York City’s FREE citywide tax assistance program has put more than $1 billion back into the pockets of low-income New Yorkers. We rely on dedicated volunteers to support this impactful anti-poverty work. No professional financial experience needed – volunteers of all professional backgrounds welcome!
