Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program

The mission of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is to provide free tax preparation to low- and moderate-income individuals and families, persons with disabilities and limited English speaking taxpayers who need tax return assistance from reliable tax professionals.

Last year, the VITA program helped prepare more than 3.5 million tax returns nationally. This was only made possible by the 82,000 volunteers who trained and became certified in tax law to assist members of their community. Tax preparation can be costly, but this program helps put money back into the pockets of local families by guaranteeing the maximum refund without costing a dime.
