Pisgah Legal’s tax clinics provide local families free information and tax preparation services. Anyone on the fence about filing should be able to speak to a certified tax preparer about their specific situation then they can decide whether or not to file. All of Pisgah Legal’s services are secure, confidential and free.

Those who rarely file a tax return could be missing out on hundreds or even thousands of dollars in tax credits. There are two tax credits local families can take advantage of: the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. The Child Tax Credit pays up to $3,600 per child and the Earned Income Tax Credit is worth up to $6,700.
