We all know the IRS Deadline to file your taxes without penalty is April 18th, 2011, & is approaching vastly. There are many of so called “free” tax software programs out there, even companies promoting they prepare taxes for free. I encourage you to read the small print!

Michigan has a variety of totally, completely, absolutely FREE tax preparation services in our Community – for those who qualify. Keep every dollar of your return in your pocket!
