Get Free Tax Preparation Help!

We are excited to say that March 15 is VITA Awareness Day!

We want to let everyone know about the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and explain how—and where—you can take advantage of this fantastic program that can help so many people in our DC community.

VITA is a national government program that partners with local organizations to offer free tax preparation services to individuals and families with limited incomes, persons with disabilities, and non-English speaking taxpayers. This program allows everyone to get reliable and trusted help for income tax filing. So even if you can’t afford to pay a private tax preparer, you can still get expert help for filling out those confusing tax forms, and get the best possible refund including claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Please visit our Tzedek DC website to find a list of local VITA sites where you can get your taxes done for free, in many different languages, in the DMV area. Additionally, if you are a senior seeking assistance, you can visit this link for Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs.

Disclaimer: Before scheduling an appointment or walking into a clinic, please make sure you meet the eligibility criteria and regularly check the IRS website for updates.
