Exciting news for Orange County residents – free tax prep is now available in your area! Goodwill of Orange County has teamed up with Orange County United Way and OC Free Tax Prep to offer this service during tax season. If you earned less than $67,000 in 2024, you may be eligible to file your taxes at no cost and even claim cash-back credits!
The tax prep service features IRS-certified volunteers who are ready to help with any questions you might have. Take Ramona’s story, for example. When she faced unexpected job changes, managing her taxes became overwhelming. With the FREE tax prep, she filed her taxes effortlessly and received her refund promptly. She used it for essential expenses like vet bills and a house savings fund. OC Free Tax Prep didn’t just save her money on fees; it also showed her how to maximize her returns with cash-back tax credits.
Maximize Your Refund With Expert Help! Tax professionals are available to ensure you get every dollar you deserve. Combine these tax credits and more for hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars in your pocket:
- California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC)
- Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)

- Foster Youth Tax Credit (FYTC)
- And more!
