We provide free tax services to LA County residents who make up to $67,000 a year. See if you are eligible for our services.
We have a team of dedicated IRS-certified volunteers ready to provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing.
As a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site, KYCC and the Free Tax Prep LA collaborative have filed 16,343 tax returns and returned greater than $18 million tax refunds during our last filing season.
Filing your taxes can help you get money back from the government, like cashback, tax credits, and stimulus payments.
People who qualify can get up to $10,000 combined from credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, CalEITC, and the Young Child Tax Credit.
There are also extra federal stimulus payments available! Even if you use an individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN), you can now get state tax credits and stimulus payments too.

If you are a low-income taxpayer who needs assistance in resolving an issue with the IRS or needs help understanding your responsibilities but cannot afford representation you may qualify for free help from our Low income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC).
If any of these apply to you, please learn more about our services below and contact us to see if we can help you.
KYCC’s LITC receives funding from the IRS. The clinic, its employees, and volunteers are not affiliated with the IRS. Please keep in mind that in some cases, providing consultation does not mean we legally represent our clients.

Can LITC also help me prepare tax returns?
No, LITC does not prepare tax returns as we specialize in resolving issues with the IRS. However, KYCC offers a separate tax preparation service for those who are eligible.
-
I have over $50,000 in debt. Can you still help me resolve an issue with the IRS?
Depending on the complexity of the matter, we may only be able to address any questions taxpayers may have in addressing their tax issues. If possible, we may be able to provide legal advice, but not representation.
-
Will I be legally represented in my case if I seek help from KYCC?
Legal representation is determined on a case-by-case basis, where we take into account income, tax controversy amounts, as well as complexity of tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service. Representation is not guaranteed. In the case we cannot help you, you can try searching for and visiting other LITCs to see if they can.
