If a disaster occurs during tax season, navigating the complicated tax preparation and filing requirements can seem even more stressful. And you need the potential tax refund ASAP. North Dakota offers a few tax assistance centers, in addition to traditional tax preparation services such as H&R Block, TurboTax, and private accountants. If you need legal assistance related to your taxes, finances, or bankruptcy, contact Legal Services of North Dakota to be matched with a pro bono attorney, if eligible.
