Tax assistance
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
(VITA) program offers free tax help to people who make $54,000 or less, persons
with disabilities and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in
preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic
income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified
individuals.
In addition to VITA, the Tax Counseling
for the Elderly (TCE) program offers free tax help for all taxpayers,
particularly those who are 60 years of age and older, specializing in questions
about pensions and retirement-related issues unique to seniors. The
IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired
individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from
the IRS.
To access these resources, you can use
the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Locator
tool on IRS.gov, or the AARP Tax-Aide Site Locator, which
allow users to input their zip code to find the closest
locations.
More information on resources provided
for free tax preparation can be found online on IRS.gov.More updates and information from me is
available on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Medium, and subscribe to the email
newsletter.
Please stay in touch.
