Just file it! It’s Back! Credit Union ONE kicks off season next week

Ferndale, MI – Credit Union ONE has once again joined forces to promote Just file it! We’ll Help Free State and Federal Tax Preparation Resources Provided by Credit Unions, a web-based program that allows families and individuals to file for state and federal tax credits that often go overlooked. With many Michigan residents struggling to make ends meet, a little extra cash can make a big difference!

More than 100 Michigan credit unions, including Credit Union ONE, are promoting Just file it! to their membership beginning Tuesday, January 17, 2012.

The Just file it! program returned over $574,000 in State and Federal returns to approximately 361 individuals and families last year participating in the program through Credit Union ONE.

Beginning today, a link to Just file it! may be accessed by visiting Credit Union ONE at cuone.org/justfileit.

All that is required to use the Just file it! program is a computer, Internet access, a Web browser and a printer. The program uses a free, secure web-based software program, posing questions to users and offering assistance via online chats. It is offered in both English, Spanish and Vietnamese.

“The need for a program like Just File It! is greater than ever,” said Gary Moody, President/CEO of Credit Union ONE. “Which is why Credit Union ONE is proud to join the network of credit unions and other nonprofits offering Just file it! to help families put food on the table, move into better housing, invest in education or save for the future.”

Credit Union ONE, headquartered in Ferndale Michigan for over seventy years, offers a wide array of financial services and access to over 28,000 ATM’s nationwide, serving 106,000 members, with eighteen offices in three major metropolitan areas, including Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.
