Artists: Get Your Taxes Done for Free!

This just came to me through my Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts network, and I wanted to let the arts community know about it! Save yourself some money this year...

I-CAN!™ E-File is a free, computerized tax-return preparation program created to assist low-income workers. This service is completely free! The IRS estimates that low-wage workers in Allegheny County spent $7 million on tax preparation fees and fees for loans in anticipation of refunds in 2007. This is money that you can save by taking advantage of free tax preparation help like I-CAN!™ E-File. Volunteers from the Allegheny County Bar Association will assist individuals in preparing their tax returns using I-CAN!™ E-File at three events during the upcoming tax-filing season:

• Friday, Feb. 6, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., at the Allegheny County Law Library on the 9th Floor of the City-County Building.
  
• Saturday, Feb. 7, 12 - 2:00 p.m., at the Allegheny County Law Library on the 9th Floor of the City-County Building.
  
• Saturday, Feb. 7, 10 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., at the East Liberty Branch of the Carnegie Library.
