Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

Our VITA/FSA site is Open February 5th to April 10th, 2025 for the 2024 tax filing season!

 

Free Income Tax Assistance Programs

United Way offers two in-person options for our FREE tax preparation programs: Volunteer assisted or Self-service. Income limits apply. Language support available for Spanish speakers.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) – Let one of our IRS-certified volunteers prepare your taxes for you. VITA provides free basic income tax preparation services with electronic filing. Available for those who made $67,000 or less in 2024. 

Facilitated Self Assistance (FSA) – Have you wanted to learn how to do your own taxes or want to take control of your tax experience? FSA provides taxpayers access to a workspace, computer, printer, and easy-to-use tax preparation software (TurboTax). The onsite facilitator pays the fees for your filing. Available for those who made $100,000 or less in 2024.

FSA appointments are for you to prepare your own return using Turbo Tax and we pay the filing fee.  You will not receive the same level of tax support as you do in a VITA appointment, although there will be someone on site to answer questions.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) creates access to the single most effective, efficient national anti-poverty program in existence — the earned income tax credit (EITC) for working people. And VITA volunteers make sure people get all the credits they have earned.

For millions of Americans, tax refunds and credits are essential to their financial stability and success. The single biggest cash payment that low-to moderate-income individuals or families receive is often their annual tax refund. As a result, tax time is a critical financial inflection point, that when used strategically, can positively impact a family’s financial future. This results in thriving communities where everyone has more opportunity to succeed.

Amy, a college student and single mom works hard to make ends meet for herself and her little boy. “He’s my everything – I’d do anything for him”.

When Amy had her taxes prepared at her local United Way Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site, she learned that she qualified for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Amy says she’ll use her EITC “to pay off debt, to buy new clothing, to put food on the table…little boys grow very fast! It’s important for him to see we can reach our goals, no matter what’s in front of us.”

VITA helps millions of workers like Amy keep more of what they earn to pay for things like reliable transportation to get to work, housing, and food.
