ABOUT THE VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) initiative that offers free tax help to low- to moderate-income people who cannot prepare their own taxes. Utah has implemented the VITA program across the state through the Community Action Partnership of Utah and United Way of Salt Lake working to strengthen financial stability through increased utilization of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), and other asset formation programs.
HOW DO I FIND OUT IF I QUALIFY?
Utah’s VITA program provides free tax preparation services to households whose income is below $49,000 a year. VITA sites are fully staffed by over 600 volunteers who are trained by the IRS. Each volunteer works with a tax filer to ensure that all tax credits to which the tax filer is entitled, including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), are claimed.
