Volunteers sought for free tax help

United Way of Snohomish County will operate three centers from Jan. 22 to April 15 to help low- and middle-income families prepare income tax forms, file electronically and take advantage of tax credits.

The centers helped families claim $1.2 million in tax refunds last year. More than $8 million in Earned Income Tax Credits go unclaimed each year in Snohomish County.

All volunteers will receive free training and be certified by the IRS. Free tax preparation centers are located in Everett, south Everett and Lynnwood. Volunteers who speak Spanish and Russian are greatly needed.
