This is the last week for San Antonio area households earning $65,000 or less to file their taxes for free.
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) can be used at no cost until April 15 for those eligible households.
VITA has already assisted nearly 18,000 taxpayers this tax season and saved $4 million in preparation fees, according to a statement. It has also connected taxpayers to nearly $28 million in refunds.
The program is available to the community because a partnership between the United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County and the city, county, and Catholic Charities.
There are 20 locations to file taxes through VITA, and each volunteer must pass an IRS exam to qualify to prepare tax returns. Spanish speakers are at every location, too. Learn more at vitasa.org or call 2-1-1 and select option 1.
