vOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Community FaithWorks is aligning with the Internal Revenue Service to assist our underserved families and communities with FREE preparation of their income tax returns through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program.
The VITA Program consists of IRS-certified volunteers to provide free, in-person assistance for:
- individuals who make $56,000 or less a year,
- people with disabilities,
- or those with limited English skills.
The Program also helps residents access credits for which they are eligible, including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
