Benefit Bank

Connecting communities to resources

Goodwill Industries of Arkansas has partnered with The Benefit Bank (TBB), a web-based, counselor-assisted program, to connect low-to-moderate income residents with access to free assistance in filing federal and state income tax returns, and potential work supports, such as health care coverage, home energy assistance, child-care subsidies and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly Food Stamps).

TBB sites, such as Goodwill, offer tax preparation assistance, provide trained counselors to help clients with household incomes of less than $56,000 per year, file their tax returns at no cost. Eligible clients can also claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a refundable federal income tax credit for low-to-moderate individuals and families.

Income tax refunds can be received within seven to 10 days through TBB e-filing with a counselor. A visit for free tax filing coupled with benefit eligibility screening can turn into so much more.
