WASHINGTON, DC – On Friday, February 22, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) will be joined by North Carolina Department of Revenue officials and community and industry leaders to urge eligible North Carolinians to use the Free File program to prepare and file their taxes for free. Butterfield will speak at a public briefing on the Free File program, which provides eligible taxpayers free use of name-brand tax software products through a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and tax software companies.
Taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of $57,000 or less in 2012 – 70 percent of all taxpayers – can use Free File. This program not only helps people save on the cost of tax preparation, but also empowers them to claim the credits and deductions for which they are eligible.
Following the briefing, the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) will hold a Free File Training workshop open to the public.
