VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Program

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program offers free tax help to individuals, especially those earning low to moderate incomes, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Trained volunteers assist taxpayers in preparing and filing their federal and state tax returns, ensuring they take advantage of available tax credits and deductions. VITA sites are typically located in community centers, libraries, and schools, and the service is designed to help individuals navigate the complexities of tax filing while promoting financial literacy and ensuring compliance with tax laws.
