Free Tax Help
File your taxes for free at any one of 35+ locations – and get more money back from tax credits.
If your family earns less than $55,000 a year, one of our IRS-certified experts can prepare your taxes for free. Last year, HSA and United Way helped more than 10,000 San Franciscans get back an average of $1,300 on their tax returns.
Let us help you file your taxes by the April 15, 2019 deadline – and get back as much of your income as possible.
Get More Money Back: Apply for Tax Credits
Check with your tax preparer or the websites below about your eligibility to get back:
- Up to $6,400 from the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
- Up to $2,900 from the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC)
- Up to $2,000 from the Child Tax Credit (CTC)
Note: the IRS website has not been updated to reflect 2018's tax year amount of $2,000 for each eligible qualifying child and that the child must have been under age 17 on Dec. 31, 2018. - Up to $500 from the San Francisco Working Families Credit (WFC)
These tax credits do not count as income. They will not affect your eligibility for HSA programs like CalWORKs, CalFresh, or disability.
