The New City Tax Access Program provides subsidized, high-quality tax preparation services to individuals and families who may otherwise face barriers to filing their taxes accurately and on time.
Why This Program Matters
For many individuals and families, filing taxes is confusing, stressful, and financially out of reach — yet it directly impacts income stability, benefits access, and long-term security.
Without support, families may leave money unclaimed, fall out of compliance, or turn to high-cost preparers that create additional financial strain.
Community Tax Assistance helps remove these barriers by providing subsidized, trustworthy, and accessible tax preparation services designed to meet families where they are — with clarity, dignity, and care. This program ensures individuals and families can file with confidence, protect their financial well-being, and move forward with greater stability.
SUBSIDIZED TAX PREPARATION
Participants receive professional tax preparation support at low or no cost, depending on eligibility and financial need.
Services include preparation and filing of federal and applicable state tax returns, with a focus on accuracy, compliance, and maximizing eligible credits and refunds. Support is provided in a clear, respectful, and confidential manner.
ACCESSIBLE, TRUSTED SUPPORT
Participants work with trained tax preparers and support staff who help guide them through the filing process without pressure, confusion, or hidden fees.
There are no long-term commitments, and services are offered on a seasonal, as-needed basis, allowing individuals and families to receive support when it matters most.
Community Tax Assistance is designed to reduce barriers, prevent costly mistakes, and ensure families can file with confidence and peace of mind.
