Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
Free, quality tax preparation from IRS-certified preparers to individuals and families
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program through United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona provides free, quality tax preparation from IRS-certified preparers to individuals and families earning up to $66,000 annually.
Our VITA program helps taxpayers access all tax credits for which they are eligible – including the Child Tax Credit (CTC), the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and for eligible older adults, the Arizona Property Tax Credit.
VITA is a community initiative led by United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona, in collaboration with Catholic Community Services and partners throughout Northern and Western Arizona. Together, and largely through a network of dedicated volunteers, this collaborative serves residents in nine of Arizona’s fifteen counties.
Trying to claim your Child Tax Credit or stimulus payments? If you did not have income in 2020, visit GetCTC.org for assistance. If you did have income in 2020, we recommend e-filing in February 2022. (Paper filing is available right now, but due to a IRS backlog, e-filing in February will likely be a faster option.)

“This program helps low-income community members and that appealed to my wife and me, so we decided to volunteer.”
