Community Services is partnering with Prepare + Prosper to offer free tax preparation and financial services in 2019. IRS-certified volunteers will get you the maximum refund this tax season (January 26 – April 15). Prepare + Prosper provides services for individuals making less than $35,000, and families making less than $55,000 per year. The Merrick Community Services location is a walk-in site, so everyone present at the sign-in time has an equal chance to be served and to be seen first. Order is determined randomly.
