Want to bring more money into our local economy?

Our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) effort offers FREE tax preparation by IRS-certified volunteers at sites throughout the Big Bend from January to April each year.  This fast and free service helps Big Bend residents avoid predatory income tax preparers and costly refund anticipation loans. VITA volunteers prepare basic, current year tax returns free of charge for eligible taxpayers and work to ensure that eligible families take advantage of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) which can increase a family’s annual income by as much as 15 percent.
