Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who generally make $56,000 or less, persons with disabilities, and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free essential income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals.

The VITA site, at 2340 Lamar Avenue, will be open on Mondays and Fridays in February and March from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm, and on a limited number of Saturdays. Volunteers have flexible hours and may choose their schedules on those days.

The United Way of Lamar County is committed to improving the income and financial stability of our community. They have been a registered VITA site for nearly a decade, providing free tax filing, which enables individuals to avoid costly fees, collect earned income tax credit, and receive their full return.
