Tax day is just 10 days away, but if you haven't got around to filing your papers just yet, don't stress — a number of free services in Brooklyn are here to help.
In general, most free tax preparation services are available for single New Yorkers who earned less than $59,000 to $65,000, and families who earned less than $85,000 annually. But this varies depending on which service you are signing up for, so make sure you look at the income requirements and document checklist for each program.

NYC Health & Hospitals: New York City Mayor Eric Adams expanded the free city tax prep locations to include H&H hospitals this year, where some sites offer support in Spanish, Chinese, and Bengali.
