Voluntary Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program

This free income tax return preparation from the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program could help you save money, and that’s important to us. Suncoast is not hosting prep sites this year, but we want to make sure you know where to go to find them.

For more information about the (VITA) program, such as where to find a VITA site near you, who qualifies for free tax prep and what you should bring with you to your appointment, please call 2-1-1 for your local United Way office.
