It’s time to file those taxes! Here in southern Colorado on average it costs $174 to file, but we have a way you can get help filing for free.
We all know it can be overwhelming and time consuming to file your taxes. Luckily, IRS certified accounting students at PPCC are there to help.

The whole process takes about an hour! You can speed things up if you bring all the necessary paperwork ahead of time. Plus, this isn’t the only place you can get your taxes done for free.
