The 2013 Free Income Tax Preparation and Family Services initiative, as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, will again offer Californians free tax return preparation services as well as an opportunity to apply for and receive family services. This initiative was a huge success last year as volunteers were able to capture $3.7 million in federal tax credits by helping thousands of Californians file their tax returns.
This year qualified taxpayers who earn less than $51,000 may be eligible to receive a maximum of $5,891 in Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC is a refundable credit, and unlike other available tax credits, the EITC is a direct cash payment which is added to any refund due to qualifying individuals.
The VITA events will feature access to:
- Free Income Tax Preparation Assistance
- Low Cost & Free Medical Services
- Job Preparation Assistance
- Food & Nutrition Services
- Discount Phone Service
- Low Cost Auto Insurance
- Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Assistance
Language assistance in English, Spanish, and Chinese will be provided
