Volunteer Income Tax Preparation Assistance (VITA) Program
The mission of the VITA program is to assist eligible taxpayers in satisfying their tax responsibilities by providing free tax return preparation.
What is VITA?
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program has been in existence for 50 years, offering free tax help to people who cannot afford professional assistance. Volunteers come from all backgrounds and undergo a comprehensive training program. Tax preparers must pass annual certifying exams to prove their understanding of relevant tax laws and proficiency of e-filing and tax preparation methods using IRS-approved software. SEVCA also provides assistance to Vermont residents that aren’t required to file a tax return, but need help with their Homestead Declaration, Property Tax Credit Claim, or Renter Credit Claim. We can support you year-round.
