Tax Preparation

Alternate Tax Options

Out of an abundance of caution and in alignment with recommendations from Public Health, United Way of King County Free Tax Prep Sites are temporarily closed until further notice due to the risks associated with COVID-19.

Given the extension of the filing deadline, United Way of King County is still committed to providing tax help to those in need. If you need help filing your taxes, you can still file for free.

  1. Self-filing. File your taxes online free with United Way’s filing tool at www.MyFreeTaxes.com.
  2. Virtual tax preparation. Get free tax preparation services virtually from your own home. In a partnership with Code for America, our local United Way Free Tax Preparation experts now can remotely prepare your tax return and file it electronically with your consent. Simply answer a few questions and submit your documents to a secured portal via GetYourRefund.org.  This service is available for individuals and households who earned less than $66,000 in 2019. This virtual tax service is now available for ITIN holders.
