Free tax preparation throughout Pierce County from South Sound Outreach Services.
File your taxes for free at one of our tax sites! This year, we prepared and submitted tax returns for over 450 households-- for a total refund of over $600,000!
Who is eligible:
Pierce County residents should call to see whether their tax situation qualifies for free services. We cannot serve you if you received any capital gains or losses in the sale of stock, or if your self-employment expenses are greater than $5,000. If you are unsure whether you are eligible, please call.
We offer tax preparation services year-round at our main office, including returns from previous years.
During the tax seasons, we operate tax sites across Pierce County. We e-file your taxes instantly, can get your refund directly deposited into your bank. Save your money-- there's no need to pay for a service that you can get for free.
