Warning: Taxes must be postmarked by April 15, 2010.  Because this deadline is fast approaching, CILS cannot guarantee that you will receive the forms that are prepared by ICAN! E-file in enough time for you to review and mail by April 15, 2010.  If you prefer not to use our services, we can refer you to your nearest Volunteer Income Tax Assistance center.  VITA centers provide free assistance to low and middle income individuals.

California Indian Legal Services (CILS) has begun offering its free tax preparation services using the I-CAN!® E-FILE tax module.   All counties call (800) 743-8941 or go to: http://www.icanefile.org/index.asp?caller=23 to complete your tax returns using the ICAN!® E-FILE tax module.  The program is designed to help you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, a special tax credit worth up to $5,657 for low income workers.  The program is designed to assist most low income tax payers.  Don’t lose out on this great tax credit and don’t pay commercial tax preparers to help you get it.  Even if you don't qualify for this tax credit CILS may still be able to assist you.
