Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is a program that offers free tax preparation services to individuals and families with low to moderate incomes. Trained volunteers assist taxpayers in filing their federal and state tax returns accurately, ensuring they claim all eligible deductions and credits. VITA is available during tax season at various locations, including community centers and libraries, and it aims to help people maximize their tax refunds and navigate complex tax laws without the cost of commercial tax services. This initiative not only supports financial well-being but also promotes awareness of tax rights and responsibilities.
