VITA Tax Workshop

Are you ready? Tax Season is here and if you made less than $54,000 in 2016 you could qualify for free tax services. VITA programs utilize IRS-certified volunteers to provide taxpayer assistance to families generally making $54,000 or less, individuals with disabilities, and limited English proficient individuals. Additionally, the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program offers free local tax preparation services for senior citizens, specializing in assistance with retirement-related issues.

Also, if you’re eligible for VITA and TCE programs you may also qualify for federal or state tax credit programs, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, that puts money back into  your pockets. This workshop is meant to ensure that you receive the maximum benefit from the tax code and do not leave any resources unclaimed.

This workshop is by appointment only, so make sure to reserve your spot today.

Be sure to bring the following things to your appointment.

1. Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for each family member and working adult.

2. 1095-A if you received a tax credit from the healthcare.gov marketplace

4. Bank routing and account numbers for checking or savings account ( if you qualify for refund via secure direct deposit )
