NC State Poole College of Management accounting students are again providing free online tax return assistance for NC State students and faculty using the MyFree Taxes website.
You will need to create an account, and it is recommended to choose the “File My Own Taxes” option on the welcome page before proceeding. If possible, please create an account before attending any of the virtual sessions offered below.
Eligibility
The service is a free, safe and easy way for anyone earning less than $79,000 to file their federal and state tax forms online, prior to the April 18 deadline.
