

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help through IRS-certified volunteers to people who generally make $64,000 or less, including persons with disabilities, the elderly and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.

VITA volunteers are trained to access the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child and Family Tax Credit, and other tax credits to allow taxpayers to pay bills, cover essential needs (rent, utilities, food, etc.), save and plan for the future.
