What can a free tax preparation site do?
We can complete your federal 1040 or 1040A return and file it electronically, including Schedules A and B (interest
income and itemized deductions), child credit, child care credit, education credits, and EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit).
We cannot (for liability reasons) file Schedule C (Business Income) or Schedule D (capital gains and losses, including sale
of real estate), certain types of self-employment income, or the Foreign Income Tax Credit. (AARP sites do handle some of these situations generally found in a senior citizen's return.) We can also prepare and file your North Carolina tax forms electronically.
We use professional Tax-Wise software, and our volunteers are certified to prepare taxes by the IRS.
Where can I get my taxes done free?
VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) sites for families earning up to $42,000: All sites open the week of January 26-31 and end by April 15. Friday and Saturday

AARP Sites (For low and middle income taxpayers with special attention
to those 60 and older): Y ou can also prepare your tax return yourself
online through this website: The Beehive. What do I need
to bring to the tax preparation site? You
need to bring: - a picture ID (driver's license, passport,
or other government issued ID)
- Social Security cards (or
Individual Tax Identification Number) for yourself and each dependent (including children) you are claiming
- your W-2 and/or 1099s
- the
Employer ID number or SS number of childcare providers
- last
year's tax returns.
If you want direct deposit
of any refund, also bring a voided check or savings account information. When will I get my refund?
If you choose
direct deposit to a checking or savings account, you can expect your federal refund in about 10 days. If you want a paper
check, it takes up to three weeks. State refunds are less predictable.
What if I owe taxes? You have several options:
- We can file your form electronically and give you a payment
slip for you to mail to the IRS by April 15 with payment.
- We
can file your form electronically and you can have your payment deducted from your checking or savings account. Be sure to
bring a voided check or savings account statement so we can get your account number.
- We can print your forms and you can mail them with your payment by April 15.
What is the Earned Income Tax Credit? Am I eligible?
The Earned Income Tax Credit is a benefit for people from ages 25 to 65 who work.
