¡°Los Impuestos y Usted¡± will focus on a variety of tax issues, including topics such as who must file a tax return and who can claim deductions and benefits.
In addition the program will highlight the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is a sometimes overlooked but valuable tax credit that can make taxpayers lives a little easier. Working families with incomes under $41,646 could receive larger refunds if they qualify for the EITC.
The program also will explain Free File, a service that allows many taxpayers to file their taxes online at no cost. The show will also discuss other kinds of free assistance available from the IRS.
