The Volunteer Income Tax A-sistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who generally make $57,000 or less, including persons with disabilities, the elderly and limited English speaking taxpayers who need a-sistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals.
VITA volunteers are trained to access the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and other tax credits to allow taxpayers to pay bills, cover essential needs (rent, utilities, food, etc.), save and plan for the future. Community Action Agency VITA sites also are able to link taxpayers to other critical services that strengthen families.
The Volunteer Income Tax A-sistance (VITA) program not only provides free tax preparation and access to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and other tax credits to low-income taxpayers allowing them to pay bills, cover essential needs such as rent, save, and plan for the future, but also links them to other critical services strengthening families and the local economy.
