File Your Taxes For FREE!
January 18, 2010 will kick off the Just file it! program for the 2009 tax season.

Michigan residents miss out on millions of dollars in tax refunds and credits every year, and Just file it! serves those who need these funds the most. The program is one of many initiatives non-profit credit unions offer to better serve their members.
The Just file it! program is available to anyone in need of tax services no matter what their income level. All that you need is a computer, Internet access, a Web browser and a printer. The program uses a free, Web-based software program, posing questions to users and offering assistance via online chats. It is offered in English and Spanish.
