Tax season officially begins on Monday (Jan. 29), so United Way Suncoast is once again launching its annual Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program.
Any household with annual earnings of $79,000 or less can receive free tax preparation services. Unlike some of the tax preparers that charge, VITA doesn't have moon-walking mascots, animated graphics, or punny commercials. But it does have an army of IRS-trained volunteers, sites in Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, and DeSoto counties, and a true desire to help community members.
In 2023, United Way Suncoast and its partners like AARP brought back $13.8 million in returns, tax credits, and savings on preparation fees. VITA is vital to residents and the region's economy.
