Federal income tax form and W-2 form
April 17 is the last day to file 2011 state and federal income tax returns. Don’t get caught paying more than you should to tax-preparation services that charge you for filing your return. If your household income is $60,000 or less, LEAP can help you prepare and e-file your return for free. If you are owed a refund, you can expect it to be direct-deposited into your bank account within 14 days.
