For a decade, the Free Tax Prep LA Coalition has been maximizing both refunds and tax credits for Angelenos. The program offers free tax preparation from IRS-certified and trained volunteers to qualifying individuals who earned $69,000 or less in 2025.
Since its launch, Free Tax Prep LA has helped more than 118,000 Angelenos claim more than $150 million in refunds and credits. The goal of the program is simple—to help hard-working Angelenos claim all that is theirs at no cost to them. Annually, in LA County alone, there are over 300,000 unclaimed Federal Income Tax Credits and 100,000 California Earned Income Tax Credits, totaling nearly $580 Million annually left unclaimed.
Filing your taxes through FTPLA gives you access to your maximum tax credits. Eligible individuals may be entitled to up to $10,000 in Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, CalEITC, Young Child Tax Credit, and additional federal stimulus payments. ITIN filers are also newly eligible for state tax credits and stimulus payments.
