A Tax Season to Look Forward to
Wouldn’t it be great to help families receive the tax benefits they are due? Many United Ways across the country offer the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, a successful, proven strategy that mobilizes and trains volunteers to provide free tax service to working individuals and their families. VITA assists taxpayers who are struggling to make ends meet by saving them the cost of tax preparation and helping them claim all tax credits for which they are eligible.
Could there be a better gift than to know you’ve made a difference?
Make time this holiday season to volunteer with the ones you love – and resolve to make it a regular part of your life in the New Year!
