Individuals and families can qualify
for an extra $450 to over $5,600!!
This is money that could help to cover the cost of clothes, medicine, food, school supplies, utility payments, and house payments.
Last year, during the 2021 tax season, VITA volunteers prepared over
2,300 returns which made an economic impact of close to $4.5 million dollars in the Lowcountry!
Additionally, this saved taxpayers more than $500,000 dollars
in paid preparer fees!
While the IRS manages the VITA program, the sites are operated by IRS partners and staffed by volunteers who want to make a difference in their communities.
