We would love to invite members of the TXCPA to join us as volunteers in assisting low-income community members with completing their taxes at no cost during the upcoming 2024 Tax Season. Please see additional information below: 

 

Why VITA? 

VITA is an IRS and community-sponsored program designed to assist low to moderate income taxpayers with the preparation of their annual tax returns at no cost. In 2024, IRC VITA sites served over 1,000 community members, helping them access over $2 milling in refunds. 

 

What is required? 

·               No previous experience needed 

·               Training and certification provided 

·               In-person availability of 3+ hours/week from January 29 – April 15, 2025; location TBD, but expected to be in the Vickery Meadows area of Dallas (near NorthPark Mall)
