Forsyth Free Tax

Forsyth Free Tax Program

​

ESR’s Forsyth Free Tax program provides free tax preparation to people with low-moderate income.

If you make less than $67,000, you can have your taxes prepared for free through volunteer sites. Income tax returns are prepared by volunteers who are IRS-trained and certified every year and adhere to IRS standards of conduct. Tax returns are electronically filed and refunds (if expected) may be directly deposited to taxpayer bank accounts, ensuring a faster refund.

​

This year, there are two Forsyth Free Tax VITA sites:

​

ESR is located at 3480 Dominion Street, Winston-Salem.
