The IRS can help you with your tax return in different ways. For example, taxpayers could receive free tax return preparation. Of course, you must meet some requirements to be eligible.
In this case, some taxpayers can benefit from the Internal Revenue Service’s VITA. VITA stands for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance. What is more, the Internal Revenue Service also offers Tax Counseling for the Elderly or TCE.

IRS’S VITA ELIGIBILITY
The Internal Revenue Service says that VITA is for taxpayers who, in general, earn less than $64,000 per year. Therefore, if you are a high earner you may not be able to qualify for this free service.
There is another possibility to take advantage of this IRS program. If you have a disability, you can benefit from this Volunteer Income Tax Assistance as well.
But what if you are not fluent in English? The IRS claims that limited English-speaking taxpayers can take part in VITA. Then, if you know someone who does not understand English, tell them about VITA.
IRS OFFERS SUPPORT TO THE ELDERLY
Not only can taxpayers make use of VITA, but they can also get help from TEC (Tax Counseling for the Elderly). The Internal Revenue Service can help you with your taxes if you are at least 60 years old.
In this way, seniors could receive tax help related to their pensions, retirement benefits, and combined income. The IRS administers the TEC and VITA programs in the United States. But the people who help you are volunteers who want to help their community.
Do not worry because the IRS has trained these volunteers and they are perfectly prepared. Then, you can trust them because they are reliable and free. Needless to say, this service is confidential and private.
