Volunteer Income Tax Assistance: A Community Coalition for Financial Education and Asset Building
Koonce, Joan; Scarrow, Andrea; Palmer, Lance
Journal of Extension, v54 n2 Article 2TOT2 Apr 2016
Free tax programs, such as Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), allow recipients of the earned income tax credit (EITC) to have their returns filed for free. VITA and other free tax programs are nationwide. However, each program is distinct, and the services provided by these programs differ. This article discusses a successful and unique community collaboration that can be used by Cooperative Extension professionals nationwide to assist consumers with tax preparation, introduce new paths for providing consumers with financial education, and open the door to involving consumers in additional financial management programming.
