What is Tax Help Colorado?

Tax Help Colorado Logo

We provide free, confidential, and secure preparation and e-filing of your Federal and State income taxes if your household income is less than $64,000.  

Income taxes are completed by IRS-certified accounting students and community volunteers who work under the supervision of tax professionals.  

Contact us at taxhelpco@pikespeak.edu if you have questions.  

If your household income is between $64,000 and  $79,000, you can file your own taxes for free online at MyFreeTaxes.com.

Qualifying for Free Tax Filing

You qualify for free tax preparation and filing if:  

  • Your household income is less than $64,000
  • You are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
  • You have business expenses of less than $35,000 

If you do not qualify for Tax Help Colorado, we offer Facilitated Self-Assistance (FSA), which allows you to prepare your own tax filing using IRS-certified software with the help from our volunteers.

Volunteer for Tax Help Colorado

Our volunteers are PPSC Accounting students and community members.  As a volunteer tax preparer, you would receive training in preparing taxes and using IRS software to prepare taxes to prepare you to pass the IRS certification exam. You need no prior accounting or tax experience to volunteer with us, only a desire to learn and to help the community. 

To volunteer as a student:  Enroll in our Fall or Spring semester course Tax Help Colorado (ACC 1032) and the Spring semester Tax Help Colorado Practicum (ACC 1031). 

To volunteer as a community member: Attend our January boot camp and pass the IRS certification exam.  Please contact cristal.breitbeil@pikespeak.edu for more information.
