Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), part of United Way of the Big Bend’s Income Initiative, offers free tax preparation at sites throughout the Big Bend from January to April each year.
This fast and free service helps residents avoid predatory income-tax preparers and costly refund-anticipation loans.
VITA volunteers work to ensure that eligible families take advantage of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which can increase a family’s annual income up to 15 percent.
