VITA Free Tax Preparation

United Way of Acadiana OFFERING FREE TAX PREP FOR QUALIFYING FAMILIES

When people are financially stable, they can make financial decisions that benefit themselves and their families, which, in turn, benefits the community. Being financially stable also puts families in a better position to handle crisis – job loss, illness or other unforeseen expenses. The VITA program is just one way United Way of Acadiana is creating financial stability. In the last two years, this program put approximately $8 million back in the hands of hardworking families through free tax preparation assistance. During that period, volunteers assisted more than 5,600 Acadiana residents in  filing their taxes, helping them claim nearly $2 million each year of the nearly $30 million in Earned Income Tax Credit that goes unclaimed annually.
IRS-Certified Tax Preparers are ready to help.
