Free Tax Return Preparation for Qualifying Taxpayers
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to
people who generally make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities and
limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their
own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax
return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals.
In addition to VITA, the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program offers
free tax help for all taxpayers, particularly those who are 60 years of age
and older, specializing in questions about pensions and retirement-related
issues unique to seniors. The IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax
counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit
organizations that receive grants from the IRS.

NOTE: Many military installations offer free tax preparation assistance.
If you have access to a nearby base or post, you may want to check to see if
tax prep assistance service is being offered this tax year.
