BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Tax season is officially underway and some Buffalo organizations are working to make sure you're prepared.

The Buffalo Federation of Neighborhood Centers teamed up with First Shiloh Baptist to offer free tax preparation with KeyBank on Saturday. Employees worked alongside volunteers from various organizations to help neighbors get their taxes filed.

But if you missed Saturday's event, the BFNC is offering tax help to those who qualify through tax day, April 15. You can schedule appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 4 to 7 p.m. or Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

"BFNC looks forward to assisting community members each year with free income tax preparation. The free tax preparation service is part of the BFNC Hope Center's mission to provide services that enhance the quality of life, increase financial security, and support economic independence," stated Chandra Redfern, BFNC CEO.

You can learn more details and sign up for tax preparation online at 211wny.org.
