Its not to late to complete the Census: now get counted over the phone

Hi. If you still haven't completed a Census form, there's still time, and now, there's an even easier way to make sure you're counted. Until April 19, you can call a toll-free Census number and provide your information over the phone. Simply dial 1-866-872-6868, select the option to receive Census information, then say "Customer Service." This command will put you in touch with a Census representative, and you can tell them you'd like to give your Census answers over the phone. Again, that number is 1-866-872-6868, and it's toll-free. Be counted! Good luck!

Free Tax Preparation

Hi. It's tax time! Between now and April 15, you can get your income tax return prepared and filed for free at one of several tax preparation sites in your area. In addition to getting help filing your taxes, you may be eligible to receive a refund of up to $5,657 through the Earned Income Tax Credit, a refundable tax credit for working people with low and moderate incomes. The free tax preparation service will be provided by IRS trained volunteers who know what they're doing. For more information, and to find a location near you, simply dial 211 from any phone and tell the operator you want information about free tax preparation services. 211 is a statewide Information & Referral number, and the call is toll-free. 211 may also be able to provide you with information about other general benefits you may be eligible for. Again, just pick up a phone and dial 211 to find out more about free tax-preparation services and other general benefits in your area.
