Credit Union ONE sees record returns using Just File It!

Ferndale, Michigan – Participating in Just file it! We’ll Help, a free State and Federal tax preparation service has proved very valuable to Credit Union ONE members.

This year Credit Union ONE hit a record in terms of number of members using this service and the amount of returns that were generated, almost doubling in each of these categories!

Approximately 618 individuals and families filed their taxes through the program this year, and $955,944 has been returned to these members in State and Federal returns, with $66,127 in Earned Income Credit.

More than 100 Michigan credit unions promoted Just file it! to their membership, and Credit Union ONE came in second both in number of returns and total dollars of returns received.

The Just file it! program is a web-based program that allows families and individuals to file for state and federal tax credits that often go overlooked. The program uses a free, secure web-based software program, posing questions to users and offering assistance via online chats. It is offered in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. With many Michigan residents struggling to make ends meet, a little extra cash can make a big difference!

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