Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is a federal program that helps individuals and families keep more of their money and save on tax preparation fees. This service is provided by trained IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers who prepare taxes for free and also determine an individual’s eligibility for special tax credits. During the 2018 tax season, more than 6,000 Broward County taxpaying families and individuals had their income taxes prepared by trained VITA volunteers. As a result, more than $6 million in taxes were refunded. The services are available now throughout Broward County until April 15th.
