2-1-1 Agent: "I can help. Did you know that Voluntary Income Tax Preparation sites are set up in your neighborhood? If you visit your local site they will help you prepare your taxes for free and they will make sure you receive valuable benefits like the Earned Income Tax Credit from both the federal and state governments if you are eligible."
