Free Tax Preparation

Chhaya is proud to offer free tax preparation services to community members earning under $68,000 with dependents, and under $48,000 without dependents.

For your convenience, we offer two ways to file your taxes: by scheduling a drop off appointment at our Jackson Heights or Richmond Hill office, or by uploading your information for a virtual appointment.

For faster service with no required appointment, we encourage you to virtually submit your documents. 

Required documents for tax preparation:

• All 2020 tax forms (W-2, 1099, 1098-E, etc.)
• If you claimed unemployment benefits please have your 1099-G form. You can find it by visiting dol.ny.gov, logging into your account and searching for “1099-G”
• Photo IDs (including spouse and dependents)
• Social security and ITIN cards (including spouse and dependents)
• Direct Deposit information (account and routing number)
• List of expenses if you are self-employed

In compliance with COVID-19 precautions, Chhaya will not be completing tax returns in person.
