VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance)

VITA, or Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, is a program that offers free tax help to individuals and families, particularly those with low to moderate incomes. Trained volunteers assist with preparing and filing tax returns, ensuring that taxpayers can claim all eligible credits and deductions. This service aims to increase access to tax assistance, promote financial literacy, and help people avoid costly filing mistakes. VITA is often available at community centers, libraries, and other local organizations during tax season, providing a valuable resource for those needing support with their tax obligations.
