JFCS tax program pays off

Jewish Family and Children’s Services’ tax assistance program this year helped put $987,234 back into the pockets of low-income residents of Sonoma County, an average of $3,280 per household.

The four-year-old program offers free income tax preparation for low-income Sonoma County families. To date, JFCS staff and volunteers have helped file forms for 301 clients.

The JFCS tax assistance program is funded in part by Sonoma County Human Services Department-Sonoma Works and the Sonoma County Human Services Commission.
