What is VITA?
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Overview and Information

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers FREE tax prep by IRS certified volunteers to low-income individuals, persons with disabilities and veterans. It is a primary objective to help eligible taxpayers receive the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) to improve their financial stability. VITA also gives financial information and guidance to clients who are struggling to make ends meet. The EITC refund and service referrals help secure families against financial hardship and potential poverty. Through our efforts, Capital Area United Way (CAUW) will ensure income stability for families and strengthen the Capital Area community.

In 2022, VITA volunteers prepared over 5,900 federal and state tax returns across our 10-parishes, infusing households in our local communities with millions of refunded dollars. The VITA program contributes to individual and family stability by ensuring that qualifying households receive the EITC.
 

Below is the qualifying data for EITC as published by the IRS.
           

Additional Information:

Our sites for the 2022 tax season will offer drop-off or face-to-face models. Please pay attention to calendars - we will try to distinguish the calendars as much as we can. Some may be 30-minute drop-off slots, others may be an hour face-to-face.
