Free Tax Prep L.A. – Empowering Communities Through Tax Education and Support
Free Tax Prep L.A. aims to inform about 25000 Californians about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) a significant government program fighting poverty by providing money to eligible workers.

The program, with certified volunteers and community engagement strives to bridge these gaps and empower up to 25000 Californians to access available support. Sandy Huaman a part-time working mom, shared how the EITC and child tax credit transformed her finances. The program not only assists with tax filing but also offers financial education, coaching, credit-building, and savings programs aiming to enhance economic stability for lower-income individuals and families in Los Angeles County.
