reparing and filing taxes can often be confusing and time consuming, but the United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona helps hard-working families in South Tucson file their taxes on time and receive the maximum amount of money back.
The United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) provides low-income families with volunteers trained by the Internal Revenue Service to prepare federal and state tax returns.
Since its opening in 2005, the Quincie Douglas Branch Library has hosted the VITA tax help programs three times a week from February until April.
“We average about 20 to 30 people everyday,” said Elva Smithwhite, the branch manager.
Services were created to help those who do not have computer skills or experience with using the Internet, as well as to provide bilingual volunteers for non-English speakers.
“Everything is completely free, and United Way even submits peoples’ state and federal returns for free,” said librarian Dana Moore.
The Quincie Douglas Branch Library will be hosting the program until April 16.
“They don’t reject anyone who needs help,” Smithwhite said.
