Become a Vita Volunteer
United Way of the River Cities is seeking volunteers to help working families achieve financial stability at tax time. Becoming a VITA volunteer is a great way to meet new people, learn a new skill, boost your resume, and have fun — all while helping your community.
Why is this free tax preparation program important? Our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program directly helps people who don’t make a lot of money to get what they’ve earned. Even if a taxpayer isn’t eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), VITA saves them hundreds of dollars in preparation fees.
What do i need to bring to my tax appointment
If you think it is a tax document, bring it. It is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
There are a few items that you MUST bring in order for us to prepare your return, and they are:
- Photo identification for the taxpayer and spouse
- Social Security cards or statements for EVERYONE on the tax return
- All income documents such as W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B,SSA-1099, 1099-NEC etc.
- Form 1095-A Health Insurance Marketplace Statement, if you have Marketplace Coverage
- Form WV/SCTC-1, if you are eligible for the WV Homestead Credit or Senior Citizen Tax Credit
-
Bank routing and account numbers, if you want to use direct deposit for a refund.
