Privately Operated Tax Assistance Programs

Programs outside the AARP and VITA networks that provide tax preparation services for people who meet income and/or other eligibility criteria. The programs are staffed by agency personnel or trained volunteers and may be available during tax season or throughout the year. Services may include assistance in completing federal and state income tax returns, assistance with claiming federal and state EITC and other tax benefits available to low-income taxpayers, correction of prior year returns and resolution of problems with the IRS, and/or access to volunteers who can provide tax advice, planning and counseling.
