As tax season begins, NYC residents earning $65,000 or less can file their taxes for free through city-sponsored programs. This initiative is inclusive of all workers, including undocumented and gig economy employees. The NYC Free Tax Prep service, managed by the DCWP, offers assistance regardless of immigration status. Additionally, it's crucial for taxpayers to understand who needs to file taxes based on their income and filing status, with specific income thresholds established annually by the IRS. Completing an IRS questionnaire can help individuals determine their eligibility and responsibilities in filing taxes.
This year, you can file for free through city programs if you live or work in the Big Apple and made $65,000 or less in 2024, or your family made $93,000 or less.
NYC Free Tax Prep, run by the city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP), provides free tax preparation services to everyone within the income eligibility range listed above, regardless of their immigration status.
The best way to know the answer for your specific case is to fill out an IRS questionnaire, available online.
Each year, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets the minimum income on which taxes must be paid, considering several factors such as filing status.
