I have 2015 social security returns I was not employed I did not work in 2015 However do I need to file my taxes for the year of 2015
Hi Faith. Unfortunately, the county cannnot answer questions about tax return requirements. The tax preparation services the county offers are through qualified tax consultants. We would advise that you pose that question to a tax preparation consultant, a tax attorney, or the IRS.
Is there anywhere I can get filing back taxes for 2011 and 2012 help at this time? I live in Victorville, Ca. 92395
We would recommend that you consult with a tax preparation company or a tax attorney. The county’s partnership with the IRS only covers current-year filings for low-income residents. Thank you.

Last year I wasn’t provided a copy of my tax return. The person who “helped” filed immediately after I was there without looking at the other info I brought which (I found out a day later you guys didn’t do anyway) and I needed to add more to my taxes and now I have to amend my taxes. I don’t have a copy of my taxes to do it. So I don’t recommend anyone could come here have taxes filed because you guys screwed me over on multiple accounts. How do I get tax return copy?

I did my own taxes this year for the first time, and I made a mistake. I was told I was entitled to the Earned Income Credit because I am a senior and low income. I printed the form and tried to figure out how much I was entitled to claim but it was confusing to me. I want to do an amended Federal and State filing. I just need someone to help me figure how the amount of the EIC credit I can claim.
