Tax season can be stressful, especially for individuals and families who may not have the resources to navigate the complex filing process. That’s where the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program comes in—offering free, IRS-certified tax help to those who need it most.
What is VITA?
The VITA program is designed to provide free tax preparation assistance to qualifying individuals, including:
- Low- to moderate-income households
- Individuals with disabilities
- Seniors
- Those with limited English proficiency
VITA volunteers are trained and certified by the IRS, ensuring that tax returns are prepared accurately and in compliance with the latest tax laws. This program helps taxpayers maximize refunds, claim eligible credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and avoid costly filing errors.
Why Choose VITA?
Filing taxes can be overwhelming, and with so many online options, it’s hard to know who to trust. Here’s why VITA is the best choice for those who qualify:
- Completely Free – No hidden fees, no surprise charges.
- Trustworthy & Secure – IRS-certified volunteers ensure accuracy and security.
- Maximizes Refunds – Volunteers help taxpayers claim the credits and deductions they qualify for.
- Peace of Mind – No more worrying about making a costly mistake on your return.
