UB SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT STUDENTS OFFER FREE TAX PREP SERVICES

IRS-certified accounting students from the University at Buffalo School of Management will once again provide free tax preparation services for individuals and families with an annual income of $67,000 or less.

This service is especially valuable to low-income tax filers, helping them apply for Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC) that can provide a much-needed boost in annual income. These credits can reduce or eliminate income taxes by refunding taxes already withheld from wages.

Area residents and students are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity. According to IRS estimates, taxpayers can save between $100 and $300 in preparation fees by using this free service.

Hours: 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (First-come, first-served basis. Wait times may vary.)
