TULSA, Okla. — Filing taxes can be time-consuming and costly for many families, but one local non-profit is helping to change that.
Tulsa Responds is offering free tax filing opportunities for households making less than $67,000 a year.
Jessica Bachmeier used Tulsa Responds’ services and said she is extremely grateful to the team.
“Before Tulsa Responds, I was paying about $300 to $400 to get my taxes done," she said. "They weren't rude, they were very kind, very warm and professional.”
Ana Torres oversees VITA, the non-profit’s free tax filing program.
She said people can file for taxes all the way back from 2019 up to 2024.
“It really means a lot to me to be able to help these many households get their hard-earned dollars back," she said. “The fact that our IRS certified tax preparers are able to answer all the questions for them, or guide them through the process, makes a whole make the whole difference.”
