Appointments for 2023 are open on January 23, 2023.
If VITA is not able to accommodate you for a tax appointment, another option is to file online for free using MyFreeTaxes.com
Individuals and families whose income is $60,000 or less additionally qualify for filing assistance through MyFreeTaxes. If you are receiving a tax refund, there is no penalty when filing after the tax deadline (April 18th).
MyFreeTaxes is a free, national, online tax filing product. It is mobile optimized so anyone can access MyFreeTaxes from their computer, tablet, or smartphone.
MyFreeTaxes is completely free for anyone who earned less than $73,000 in 2021 (with additional free filing options for those who made more income) - whether you file in multiple states, work freelance or a side gig, or earn investment income. And if you have questions, IRS-certified specialists are ready to answer questions in real-time.
