Don't Pay to GEt Your Taxes Done
Don’t pay to get your taxes done! Lorain County’s free tax prep coalition is again offering free tax preparation services for low-income households.
The coalition trains and certifies volunteer tax preparers through the IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Since 1971, VITA has saved taxpayers filing fees and other high-cost services that can be charged by a private tax preparer.
The program targets households earning less than $60,000 a year or less. Volunteers can help households who are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit. A number of people are expected to file for the first time this year due to the advanced Child Tax Credit Payments distributed in 2021 for COVID-relief.
