It’s tax season. *sigh*
The deadline to file your 2024 personal income tax return is April 15. File through the IRS website, the Department of Revenue’s state-only filing system mypath.pa.gov, or myfreetaxes.com. If you need extra help, here are some free resources:
United Way
United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania partners with volunteers throughout the region to help low-income households file their income tax return and maximize their tax refund. If you make less than $65,000 a year, sign up for an appointment or call 211.
AARP
You don’t have to be a certain age or meet income requirements to get tax help from AARP. Find your closest partner location, and book an appointment through their website or call (412) 530-5194.
