By Appointment Only: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who generally make $57,000 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited English-speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.

IRS-certified volunteers will provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals. Preparers are provided to the library by Mesa United Way. 

VITA will be offered at the Red Mountain Library in the Roadrunner Room.  Click here for VITA access to the Roadrunner Room at Red Mountain Library.
