Published: January 9, 2014
The Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation (GADC) and the St. Sabina Employment Resource Center (ERC), continues the strong partnership with the Center for Econmic Development (CEP) and will open the door to the Free Tax Site, January 22, 2014 through April 15, 2014.
From January thru April, CEP has free tax sites in communities throughout Illinois. Each year, they help nearly 20,000 people file their taxes and get all the tax credits they’ve earned and refunds they’re owed. Our free tax sites are more than a place to get your taxes done. At most sites, you’ll be able to open a bank account, learn ways to save for the future, and better manage your money.
