Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program was established by the U.S. Government to provide free income-tax preparation assistance by IRS-certified volunteers. The free service is available to income-eligible working individuals and families at designated VITA sites, which includes the Latin Chamber of Commerce. VITA volunteers often help low-income, working taxpayers get the EITC refunds they might otherwise not claim. In partnership with United Way and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), local businesses and organizations have spearheaded the creation of Earn !t Keep !t Save !t. This collaborative’s mission is to help low-income families become self-sufficient and save money for the future. Its goal is to provide free tax return preparation and assistance with claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the EITC is the nation’s largest and most successful worker support program to spur economic development and strengthen the community’s workforce.
