The vita program, which the irs administers, began after the tax reform act of 1969 and provides free tax filing assistance to underserved communities. The irs's volunteer income tax assistance (vita) and tax counseling for the elderly (tce) programs offer free basic tax return preparation to qualified individuals. The volunteer income tax assistance (vita) grant program is an internal revenue service (irs) initiative in the united states that supports free tax preparation services for the underserved through various partner organizations. Services are free for eligible taxpayers and typically include both federal and state returns. In coordination with the irs, vita sites are operated by outside organizations (e.g., community organizations). The vita (volunteer income tax assistance) program eligibility is based on your adjusted gross income (agi), not your gross income
So in your case, with an agi of $50,200, you would technically fall under their $64,000 threshold based on just the income requirement. Every tax filing season, thousands of vita and tce volunteers provide quality free tax assistance services on millions of state and federal returns, providing peace of mind.
