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 $58,000, you can have your taxes prepared for free through volunteer sites. Taxes are prepared by volunteers who are trained by IRS staff members. Volunteers use IRS-approved software for return preparation. Trained volunteers prepare and electronically file your tax return. If you are due a refund, you can usually expect to receive it within ten days of filing. VITA sites file most simple returns. Check to make sure you qualify by contacting ESR’s Tax Team. The team can be reached at (336) 722-9400 x 4.

ESR is located at 3480 Dominion Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27105. Appointments are required for drop-offs. Appointment times are Monday – Thursday, 9 am – 3 pm. Virtual options may be available.

Free tax preparation services for the 2022 tax year will begin on Monday, January 30, 2023. To schedule an appointment to have your taxes prepared, please call 336-722-9400 and press 4 or visit www.forsythfreetax.com. You may also schedule an appointment by clicking the button below.
