United Way of King County provides free tax preparation and access to the Earned Income Tax Credit and other tax credits to help working families increase their incomes and create savings. The Tax Campaign allows low-income people to keep more of their hard-earned money and avoid paying unnecessary fees for commercial tax preparation and "rapid refund" loans. Being financially stables reduces the risk of becoming homeless.
In 2010, 600 volunteers dedicated 16,000 hours to United Way of King County's Fee Tax Prep Campaign. Volunteers prepared 14,000 tax returns and helped return $19.7 million in Federal Refunds back to the community, including $6.3 million in Earned Income Tax Credits. The Tax Campaign saved customers more than $1 million in tax preparation fees.
