As tax season approaches, Parkland Health is teaming up with Foundation Communities to provide free tax preparation services for low and middle-income families and individuals. The initiative, named "Tax Prep Tuesdays," will run from February 6 to March 26, offering assistance at various Parkland locations.
“Our goal with this program is to address the financial health of our Parkland population,” stated Vidya Ayyr, Director of Community Social Impact at Parkland. “This is just another way we are working to improve the overall health of our patients, employees, and community.”

Services include handling current and prior year’s federal tax returns, amending previously filed tax returns, addressing IRS letter queries, assisting with ITIN applications and renewals, and preparing tax returns for foreign students and non-U.S. residents.
