Make your first resolution of the new year a promise to file a 2002 tax return and fill out a special EITC form. Trained IRS volunteers will help you prepare and file your taxes for FREE. And it's EASY, too because volunteers are on hand in your neighborhood to help you. Just call 215-686-2599 for the location nearest you, or click here for a list of locations.
