The IRS offers the possibility to make use of VITA. VITA stands for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance. For your information, this program can help you and it has no cost to you.
VITA offers tax help for free as long as you have a disability or a moderate income. Of course, if you have a low income and a disability you can also benefit from this program.
Some people who do not have a disability but are not fluent in English may qualify. The IRS recommends visiting their website so that you can ask for help to file your 2023 tax return. Go to https://www.irs.gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-qualifying-taxpayers to find a VITA site.
CAN I USE THE IRS-2-GO APP OR PHONE THEM?
If you need tax help for free, you can also download the app IRS2GO or call for more information. The Internal Revenue Service claims that you can simply call 800-906-9887.
The Internal Revenue Service states that the VITA program has been helping people with a disability for more than 50 years. If you are not sure if you have a moderate or low income, here is the maximum amount allowed.
In general, people who make less or up to $64,000 can ask VITA for help. VITA works with certified volunteers. So, you can trust their tax counseling. Usually, they are retired people who belong to a non-profit organization.
IS THE VITA PROGRAM RELIABLE?
It is normal that when you do not know how to file your tax return, you want help from someone you can trust. The IRS claims that VITA is reliable, free and trusted.
So, if you have a disability, it is the best option you could choose. Preparing your 2023 tax return can be much easier with their help. Do not forget to prepare the things the IRS asks for returns.
For example, you will need proof of identity. This ID must have a photo. Take with you all the Social Security cards in your household you may need. E.g. your spouse’s or dependent’s. Or your ITIN. Tax forms, birthdates, and other necessary income or exemption documents may apply.
