PLANO, TX – To help Collin County constituents save their hard-earned dollars during tax season, U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (TX-03) will be joining Free File Alliance for a briefing and “Free File” tax workshop.  The event is free and open to the public. 

The event will start by highlighting the IRS “Free File” program, which provides free online tax-prep and e-filing services to taxpayers who earned an annual income of $66,000 or less in 2017.  Following the briefing, there will be a one hour interactive demonstration to see how easy it is to use “Free File” and learn about other free tax services in the community.

“With tax season underway, I want to make sure folks know about the IRS ‘Free File’ program that helps middle and lower income Americans do their taxes and for free,” said Johnson. “I’ve always been troubled at the idea that hardworking Americans have to pay for help to do their taxes due to the complexity of the tax code. The good news is that the recently passed tax reform should make next year’s tax filing easier – as easy as using a postcard-like form! I look forward to a productive tax workshop, and I also encourage folks who need any other assistance with the IRS to please call my Plano office at (469) 304-0382.  My staff and I are always happy to help!”
