Legal Services for Students (LSS) offers free income tax assistance and education to KU students who are U.S. residents. Tax returns are prepared using 2016 income information. The deadline for filing and paying your 2016 taxes was Tuesday, April 18, 2017. If you have not filed income tax returns, you can still file at any time. Our tax attorneys are available to assist you. Contact our office for an appointment, 864-5665.

Doing Your Own Tax Return

LSS recommends doing your federal and state tax returns on your own using MyFreeTaxes, a free tax filing website for anyone filing a U.S. resident tax return.  NOTE: You do not have to be a KU student to use this free tax software.  It is available for anyone to use. Electronic filing is available through the filing-with-an-extension date, October 16, 2017.

Filing should be completely free of charge if your income is under $64,000 for 2016. If you are prompted to provide payment, please contact LSS at 785-864-5665 before providing payment.
