The United Way of Acadiana is helping folks in Acadiana file taxes for free through the VITA program.
The VITA program helps put money back in the hands of working individuals. If you earn $56,000 or less then you qualify for free tax help. VITA will have IRS Certified Tax preparers set up at several locations to do your taxes for you. Every year close to 30 million dollars of Earned Income credit goes unclaimed due to mistakes on tax returns. VITA will do the research and make sure individuals get as much money back as possible.
If you are interested and if you qualify, you can attend one of the Super Tax Days events. You just show up with your Driver’s License, Social Security cards, W2s and any other tax documents. No appointment needed. If you are unable to attend a Super Tax Day, you can a make an appointment at one of the locations VITA will be stationed at during tax season.
