2026 Tax Season

Thank you for your interest in the PPSC Tax Help CO site.

Scheduling is now open for the 2026 tax filing season!

To schedule at the Pikes Peak State College Centennial Campus location on Saturdays, please visit the following link: https://taxhelpcolorado.as.me/PPSC. This is the traditional location at 5675 S. Academy Boulevard where the tax site has been operated for many years.

This year, we will also hold two sessions at the Pikes Peak State College Downtown Campus on Friday, February 20 and February 27. These sessions are an option for those who may prefer Friday or find it easier to reach the Downtown Campus. This campus is located at 100 W. Pikes Peak Avenue, less than 3 blocks from the Metro Downtown Bus Terminal. Very limited street parking is also available nearby.

What is Tax Help Colorado?

Tax Help Colorado Logo

We provide free, confidential, and secure preparation and e-filing of your Federal and State income taxes if your household income is less than $69,000.  

Income taxes are completed by IRS-certified accounting students and community volunteers who work under the supervision of tax professionals.  

Contact us at taxhelpco@pikespeak.edu if you have questions.  

If your household income is between $69,000 and  $84,000, you can file your own taxes for free online at MyFreeTaxes.com.

Qualifying for Free Tax Filing

You qualify for free tax preparation and filing if:  

  • Your household income is less than $69,000
  • You are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
  • You have business expenses of less than $35,000 
  • You do not have rental properties

If you do not qualify for Tax Help Colorado, we offer Facilitated Self-Assistance (FSA), which allows you to prepare your own tax filing using IRS-certified software with the help from our volunteers.
