missed the tax day deadline? File Your Taxes in The Summer

Tax Day is on April 15, 2024. However, we'll still file your taxes for free during the Summer. Please fill in our form below and we'll notify you when our Summer free tax filing appointments open up.

If you don't owe money to the IRS, you won't be negatively affected by filing past April 15th, 2024. If you think you owe money to the IRS or the state, you may receive a late payment penalty, but you should still file (and we'll help you do so). 

FREE TAX FILING Get Your Refund, ALL of It

We offer professional, high-quality tax filing services at five locations throughout Tulsa. When you file with us you have the opportunity to enroll in government benefits like SoonerCare and SNAP, so you can stretch your refund even further.

Free Tax Prep and Filing

At Tulsa Responds we believe that no low-to-mid-income household should have to pay to file their taxes. That’s why our IRS-certified tax preparers give free tax help to those who need it.

Our program is part of a national IRS initiative, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) to help taxpayers get access to qualified tax preparers. Nearly 20% of Tulsa households don't file their taxes because they don't owe anything, but they don't realize they might be missing out on hundreds or thousands of dollars in tax credits owed to them. That’s why we’ve joined the IRS’ national initiative, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA). File your taxes with us and you’ll get your entire refund and tax credits without paying a penny in prep fees.
