EG Tax Discount Tax Preparation Program
Here at EG Tax we know the economy has been tough & our pocketbooks are all feeling the strain of the current recession. Therefore, here at EG Tax we have instituted a program to assist taxpayers who have felt the effects of our poor economy. So if you are in the need of tax preparation, and your financial means for payment of these services are lacking, we may be able to offer you a discounted rate on our services. The discounted fee will be determined by calculating any drop in income levels from tax year 2008 against your 2009 earning, and if it is determined that your income has dropped by at least 20% from the prior year a discount could be offered. The criteria for the program are outlined below:
- You are a U.S. Resident
- Your income has suffered a significant decrease from your prior year earnings; therefore, causing added hardship when it comes to paying for tax preparation services.
- Your income has dropped by at least 20% from the previous year (this figure will be based on a comparison from 2008 vs. 2009 tax returns).
- The size of your family (household) must have maintained the same consistency from the prior year (an exception will be made only for an addition to the family and not a decrease in family size).
- The decrease in family income must have been sustained and achieved through “no control” of your own. For instance, this decrease in income requirement can not be met through means of: retirement, disability, passive loses, or investment losses.
- In order to compute your possible discount you must be prepared to furnish a copy of your 2008 tax return & we will calculate your decrease in household income from your 2009 tax materials (all 2009 income data must be supplied).
- You must call EG Tax Customer Service line to determine if you meet the requirements for this program. Please call 716-632-7886, and a discount will be granted on a case-by-case basis. This discount will only be granted through the corporate office (2475 Niagara Falls Blvd., Amherst, N.Y. 14228) only, and then if requirements are achieved a certificate of discount will be issued.
