VITA & Elderly Tax Assistance Programs

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.

Sincerely,

Denny Heck
Member of Congress

Help Wanted at the Rainier Emergency Food Center

I am Phyllis Heinselman of the Rainier Emergency Food Center, located at 11318 Vail Cutoff Rd SE.

I’m reaching out for someone, with computer skills, to volunteer 

on Wednesday from 9 AM to Noon.

We are the largest food bank in Thurston County. We serve over 180 families a week from 9:30 AM to Noon every Wednesday and Saturday.  We are here to serve the public and make coming here a pleasant experience for our clients, going through a rough time.  

This volunteer position would be sitting at the intake desk and entering the clients information into the computer; tracking their visits and commodity bags.  Where this isn’t a difficult job, it is a demanding one.  If you have time and are that special person who would like to help us please contact Nancy Decker at:  

(360) 280-7326 Cell or email her at:  nancyd98576@comcast.net
