Free Tax Preparation Assistance
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly
- The IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs offer free basic tax return preparation to qualified individuals.
- The VITA program has operated for over 50 years. VITA sites offer free tax help to people who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.
- In addition to VITA, the TCE program offers free tax help, particularly for those who are 60 years of age and older, specializing in questions about pensions and retirement-related issues unique to seniors.
- While the IRS manages the VITA and TCE programs, the VITA/TCE sites are operated by IRS partners and staffed by volunteers who want to make a difference in their communities. The IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS. In Tempe, the Tempe Community Council helps facilitates the program.
Eligibility for VITA
- People who generally make $67,000 or less
- Persons with disabilities (no income requirement)
- Limited English-speaking taxpayers
Eligibility for TCE
- People who are 60+ (no income requirement)
