The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to low- to moderate-income individuals and families. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing for qualified individuals.

We can complete up to three years of past returns. If you have multiple years of tax returns that need to be completed, please make an appointment for each year.

VITA is currently looking for volunteers to serve as certified tax preparers for the 2024 tax season.

You will receive training from an expert IRS agent and be equipped with the know-how you need to confidently prepare taxes for yourself and fellow community residents. Scheduling is flexible so you can volunteer during a time that is convenient for you! Classes start on December 13th!

Volunteer Here!
