The 2016 tax season is in full swing and Riverside County Community Action Partnership\u2019s Volunteer Income Tax Preparation program is available to help qualifying residents file their taxes.<\/p>\n

The free tax-preparation services are provided by IRS-certified tax preparers and are available to anyone with a total household income below $60,000.<\/p>\n

Based on an individual\u2019s earnings and family circumstances, a taxpayer could receive as much as $6,200 from the Earned Income Tax Credit. The taxpayer may also qualify for other tax credits, including the Child Tax Credit that offers up to $1,000 per child.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year, billions of dollars in tax refunds are left unclaimed by the very people who most need those funds,\u201d said Brenda Freeman, CAP executive director.<\/p>\n

CAP volunteers prepared more than 4,000 tax returns at 17 locations in 2015, returning more than $8.5 million in federal and state refunds to Riverside County residents, saving them more than $1.2 million in tax preparation fees.<\/p>\n
