Low-income tax assistance

Low-Income Tax Assistance (LITA) programs provide free or affordable help to individuals with limited financial resources in preparing and filing their tax returns. These services are often offered by trained volunteers or qualified professionals who ensure accuracy and maximize eligible credits and deductions. The goal is to make the tax process more accessible, reduce errors, and increase compliance for those who may not afford traditional tax preparation services. LITA programs help low-income taxpayers meet their tax obligations efficiently and confidently, often through community centers, nonprofit organizations, or IRS-sponsored clinics.
