SPRINGFIELD – Tax season is upon us, and there’s no better time to ensure you get the most out of your refund. This is where Ladder Up steps in. This Illinois-based non-profit organization is committed to providing FREE tax assistance to qualifying Illinois residents.
Ladder Up has 13 in-person locations throughout the Chicagoland area – and for those who live in the surrounding areas, the organization is thrilled to offer their Express Tax Assistance Program (eTAP), a user-friendly electronic tax preparation program that’s not only efficient but also 100% free of cost!
The program is available to qualifying individuals / households earning less than $74K annually. To get started, Illinois residents just need to complete the eTAP Eligibility Form. Once approved, they will then be able to answer questions and upload documents using a smartphone, mobile device, or computer for Ladder Up’s qualified tax professionals to prepare. Once the process is complete, eTAP users will receive a copy of their return before Ladder Up submits it on their behalf.
Ladder Up is dedicated to making financial resources accessible to all. With eTAP, you can complete your tax return from the comfort of your home and is entirely free, ensuring that hard working residents can keep more of their hard-earned money. The best part is, this streamlined process can be wrapped up in as little as one business day, ensuring an efficient turnaround!
We hope you’ll help us encourage your readers/listeners/followers to make this tax season stress-free and financially rewarding by utilizing Ladder Up’s eTAP program. Thank you for helping us spread the word about this valuable resource that can make a significant difference in the financial well-being of Illinois residents!
