RESULTS THAT ADD UP
Each year, the Free Income Tax Prep program helps hard-working individuals and families save money. Here are results from the 2021 tax season:
PROGRAM PARTNERS
The free tax prep service is offered through United Way of the Plains with the City of Wichita and IRS. United Way administers the grant from the IRS and provides coalition coordination. VITA volunteers, who are trained and certified by the IRS, provide assistance to individuals who qualify and help them obtain credits for which they are eligible (including the Earned Income Tax Credit).
BECOME A VITA VOLUNTEER
You have the power to help others on the road to financial stability. Every year, millions of dollars in tax credits go unclaimed because people simply don’t know they are eligible. You can help those individuals by volunteering through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Join forces with 200+ volunteers who make the program a success every year.
This volunteer opportunity is great for young professionals looking to build their resumes, retirees wanting a temporary volunteer gig and anyone with a passion to help others.
- Free virtual, online and socially distanced in-person training provided to become IRS certified
- Short-term opportunity (January to April)
- Ability to pick your site and service type (in-person or virtual)
- On-site support – you’re never on your own!
- Greeters and coordinators also needed.
