About the VITA program
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program is a national program supervised by the IRS. Trained and certified volunteers provide free tax assistance to low- and moderate-income individuals and families. Through this program, local residents can claim the tax benefits they deserve without having to spend money on a paid preparer, benefitting them and the New Haven economy. One major focus of the VITA program is ensuring that eligible taxpayers receive the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a credit that can put thousands of dollars in the hands of working families.
