VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX PREPARATION (VITA)

WHAT IS VITA?
VITA is an IRS sponsored service that offers free volunteer income tax assistance to any household with an income under $49,000 for 2011. Volunteers are trained and certified through the IRS to assist clients with their taxes;
however, they are not usually professional tax preparers. There is no charge for this service.

Loaves & Fishes VITA volunteers will complete both state and federal tax returns online for clients, however,
business returns are not accepted. Online tax preparation allows quick and simple filing of returns for our clients – they will not need to mail in their returns. Clients should bring all of their tax-related documents when they come in.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Any household with an income under $49,000 last year can request assistance.
Households must be current residents of Naperville, Illinois or DuPage County, Illinois.


WHEN IS IT AVAILABLE?
VITA services will be offered at the pantry from January 26 until April 14, 2012, the end of tax season.
Tax preparation will be available on Thursday from 3:30 – 7:00 p.m., Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 pm.,
and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. These hours are published on the IRS website. Appointments
are encouraged. Walk-ins will be accepted as preparers are available.


Limited tax assistance for previous year returns is available in off-season. Appointments required.

WHAT INFORMATION SHOULD THEY BRING?

W2’s
