Get Help Filing Taxes & Get a Tax Refund

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program

Filing tax returns often results in tax refunds for low-income individuals. This can mean extra money to pay overdue bills, provide for families or save for the future. 

What is VITA? 

Our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is a team of volunteers that helps qualified individuals file federal and state income taxes. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals. The programs run from Feb. 1 through April 15. In 2023, individuals and families earning $60,000 or less are eligible to participate in the VITA program.
