Support Community Tax Aid

Help us change lives one tax return at a time.

Community Tax Aid, Inc. offers tax preparation services at absolutely no charge to families with an annual income under $64,000 in the Washington, DC area.  The average income of our clients is under $28,000 and our free services ensure that they don’t risk adding to their tax bill, or losing half of their hard-earned refund on pricey commercial services and accelerated refunds.

Nationally, fewer than 1% of low income taxpayers receive free assistance. If the metropolitan DC area lost its free tax services, the average low-income family would have to pay an average of $268 to have their returns prepared. In many cases, taxpayers who cannot afford a paid preparer, and who are ill-equipped to file a return without assistance, will simply fail to file.

Your tax-deductible donation will help us continue to provide this desperately needed service and support our efforts to reach even more families and train more volunteers.
