Free tax filing assistance through Trident United Way and SC Thrive
Trident United Way and SC Thrive have worked together for more than a decade to provide free tax filing assistance. In addition to online self-service filing, there are several tax assistance sites across the Tri-County, supported by 12 partner organizations.
You may qualify for tax filing assistance at no cost if you have an adjusted gross income of $79,000, regardless of filing status.
Whether you want to reduce debt, establish a rainy day fund, buy a home or save for college or retirement, tax counselors and SC Thrive partners can connect you to free credit counseling and debt management assistance tools.
