Free, Reliable Tax Help
for Lebanon County Residents
United Way of Lebanon County participates in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, a national IRS-supported initiative that offers free tax preparation to qualifying individuals. Trained and IRS-certified volunteers help eligible residents file their federal and state income tax returns accurately and on time, ensuring they receive all credits and refunds they’re entitled to.
How VITA Helps Lebanon County
The VITA program is designed for community members who may not have access to affordable, trustworthy tax preparation. Volunteers assist eligible residents with completing and filing returns, answering questions, and identifying tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Child Tax Credit (CTC).
VITA services typically support:
Individuals and families with moderate or limited income, $62,000 or below
Seniors who need help navigating the filing process
People with disabilities
Residents with limited English proficiency
By offering free, high-quality tax assistance, VITA helps households keep more of their hard-earned income and reduces financial stress during tax season.
Why This Service Matters
Tax filing can feel overwhelming, especially when finances are tight or circumstances are complicated. VITA bridges that gap by providing expert assistance from trained volunteers who understand IRS requirements and are committed to helping residents file confidently.
This service not only supports individual financial stability, it strengthens the broader community by ensuring families can access the credits and refunds that make a real difference in their daily lives.
