Kansas Legal Services Tax Help
Kansas Legal Services affiliates with a Legal Services program in California to make electronic filing (e-filing) of taxes available to low income people, without having to buy software or pay a provider. The program asks simple questions and prepares tax forms. Electronic filing can allow people to get their tax refund back in as little as 10 days. In addition, this program emphasizes the family’s eligibility for Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), an important financial support for low income, working families. Families of 5, with total income up to $49,000 can qualify for some EITC credit, either to help pay taxes due or to increase their refund. This program is helpful to families with earned income under $50,000, who don’t have anyone in the military. It does not work for families where the workers don’t have Social Security numbers or who have employment outside the US.
Through January 25, 20 Kansas families have used these forms to obtain Federal tax refunds of over $45,000, including $18,664 in EITC. This is money they were due from the government. This program allowed them to get their money FOR FREE. Plus, the program is available in English and Spanish. These Kansas families are part of 9,032 families who have already used this program this year.
While this system doesn’t automatically link to the Kansas tax system, the Kansas e-file system is simple to use, once the Federal form is completed. Users can access this through a link on the Kansas Legal Services website, at www.kansaslegalservices.org.
For your convenience, we have placed flyers at the front circulation desk and around public access computer terminals that will help direct you to this program.
