TAX PREPARATION
FREE TAX PREPARATION
UNITED WAY CAN HELP
Beginning February 1, United Way of Northern New Jersey provides FREE tax preparation for ALICE individuals and families and those in poverty.
VITA, which stands for Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, is an Internal Revenue Service program that offers free tax filing to low- and moderate-income households through various partner organizations. United Way partners with the IRS, Norwescap, Greater Providence Missionary Baptist Church, and a corps of community volunteers who have completed extensive IRS training to serve as tax law-certified preparers. This service is available to individuals and families only. Businesses and landlords are not eligible for this service.
Through our free tax prep program, we ensure all appropriate deductions and credits are claimed to maximize refunds. We also help households that are struggling to afford life’s basics, save hundreds in tax preparer fees.
EARN IT. KEEP IT. SAVE IT.
From tax and savings tools to career coaching and financial education, United Way is committed to helping families on their path toward financial stability. Let’s get started!
