The Department of Consumer Affairs Office of Financial Empowerment (DCA/OFE) seeks to expand the delivery of low-cost and no-cost tax preparation services throughout the City of New York through the creation of innovative public-private partnerships. The Department of Consumer Affairs is not providing funding for this initiative, but DCA/OFE intends to feature these innovative partnerships in its public awareness campaign. These partnerships should enable community-based organizations, employers, unions, government agencies and other entities to link their clients, employees and or constituents to safe, high-quality professional tax services – for free or under $50.
