Experience
The IRS VITA Grant Program supports organizations that offer free tax preparation services to eligible individuals, including low-income households, seniors, people with disabilities, and limited-English-proficiency taxpayers.
VITA services help ensure accurate tax filing, maximize eligible credits, and reduce the financial burden of paid tax preparation.
Tax refunds and credits—such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit—can represent a significant source of income for working families. Access to free, reliable tax assistance helps households retain more of their earnings and avoid costly fees.
Free tax preparation supports:
Increased household income retention
Reduced reliance on high-cost financial services
Greater access to asset-building opportunities
Improved financial stability for families and communities

Stronger household finances
Increased economic participation
Reduced financial stress
Healthier local economies
