• Published: 1/27/2026

Parkland will host weekly 'Tax Prep Tuesdays’ events

Tax season is underway, and Parkland Health is once again partnering with Foundation Communities to offer free tax preparation services for qualifying patients, employees and community members. Services will be available every Tuesday from Feb. 3 through March 17 at select Parkland facilities.

Through the program, low- and middle-income families and individuals can receive one-on-one assistance from IRS-certified tax preparers at no cost.

“This program is one more way we show up for our community,” said Vidya Ayyr, Director of Community Social Impact at Parkland. “Free tax preparation helps ease stress and gives individuals and families peace of mind during tax season.”

Families and individuals earning less than $69,000 annually can register for an appointment to receive help with:

• Current and prior years’ federal tax returns
• Amendments to previously filed tax returns
• IRS letter questions
• ITIN applications and renewals
• Tax returns for foreign students and non-U.S. residents

Preparers will also help eligible individuals and families identify and claim valuable tax credits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and American Opportunity Tax Credit, and provide guidance on using refunds to support long-term financial security. Dubbed “Tax Prep Tuesdays,” appointments will be available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the following dates and locations. Advance registration is required.

• Tuesday, Feb. 3: Moody Outpatient Center, 5151 Maple Ave., Dallas, 75235
