More about VITA and MyFreeTaxes:
VITA helps individuals and families with annual incomes up to $58,000 get ahead financially, pay down debt and work toward saving for the future.
IRS-certified volunteers interact one-on-one with clients to prepare and electronically file state and federal income tax forms at no charge.
Volunteers also ensure that taxpayers claim the proper credits including Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit, Education Credit and Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled. State and federal credits may add up to more for filers next season.
Filers will learn about other resources and benefits available to help them become financially secure and independent.

How does VITA help families and our community?
Volunteer efforts build a stronger community for all of us because refund dollars are often invested locally, whether it’s for household essentials or one’s future, such as education.
Please join us in sharing information with working families about no-cost tax preparation services in our region.
