Take Advantage of Tax Help New Mexico

Tax season is upon us, Albuquerque. And while tax filing can often result in a nice tax return from the IRS, it’s one of those nagging tasks that are oh-so-easy to procrastinate--especially if you’ve never done it before.

If you’re particularly busy, earn a low income, or are above age 65, there’s a great opportunity available through Central New Mexico Community College and the United Way of Central New Mexico.

Tax Help New Mexico is free for people whose household income is lower than $52,000 a year, or those who are 65 years of age or older. The program is run by volunteers, certified by the IRS and trained to help you find tax credits you’re eligible for, but might not know about.

Tax Help New Mexico is a free service for people whose household income is $52,000 or less or those who are 65 years or older.  Tax Help volunteers are certified by the IRS and are trained to help taxpayers identify tax credits for which they're entitled to. Tax Help is operated in partnership between CNM and the United Way of Central New Mexico.
