At the heart of our work are the community members At the heart of our work are the community members we serve. Through our San Diego County Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Coalition, we help low- to moderate-income individuals and families access free tax preparation services that may help them qualify for valuable tax credits without having to pay for expensive preparation fees.

During a tax preparation event at Lincoln High School, we spoke with EITC client Ana about the meaningful impact these services have on our community.

Learn more about free tax prep services and special tax credits in our latest blog (link in bio).
