Free Tax Prep
The Community Action Agency’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is currently using a virtual tax preparation model during the COVID-19 emergency. Virtual VITA allows residents to use an online platform to securely upload their tax documents and have their taxes prepared for free by a certified tax preparer. The VITA program is scheduling virtual appointments now for the prior year (2018) amended taxes, as well as 2019 taxes.
VITA provides free filing services for federal and state taxes. They also help with completing taxes for individuals with Individual Tax Identification Numbers (ITIN).
Qualifications: Montgomery County residents with household incomes of $57,000 or less
