3. The IRS Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance Program
A volunteer-led tax-return-preparation program sponsored by the
Internal Revenue Service, the VITA Program provides valuable
tax assistance for individuals who make less than $51,000 per
year. Volunteers in the VITA Program work closely with people in
local communities across the United States. In
particular, volunteers inform taxpayers about potential tax
credits, including the Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled, the
Child Tax Credit, and the Earned Income Tax Credit. Most VITA
programs operate out of convenient locations such as
community centers, schools, libraries, shopping malls, and
neighborhood centers.
