FREE Income Tax Assistance

The United Way of Bay County FREE Income Tax Assistance Program was utilized by 1,474 Bay County residents during the 2011 tax season.

The services were provided to low-income individuals and families as well as senior citizens and the disabled. The program has been provided by United Way of Bay County for over 10 years and has proven to bring money back to the residents of Bay County through millions of dollars in tax credits and refunds.

Thank you to the trained volunteers from the United Way Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) who prepared and e-filed the tax returns as well as the local businesses that willingly opened their doors as a location for the appointments to take place.

Supporters of this program include:

Auburn City Hall

FinancialEdge Community Credit Union

Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

Pinconning Township Hall
