Last Year’s Results
During 2011 we prepared over 1,300 returns and brought back just under $2,000,000 to Weber County in refunds and estimated tax preparation fees saved. We had just over 30 volunteers involved with the program that gave over 1,100 hours of service. We want to thank our volunteers and community sponsors for helping us to run one of the best VITA sites in the state.
What is VITA?
The VITA program is a partnership between the Internal Revenue Services (IRS), community-based organizations like Earn It, Keep It, Save It and Cottages of Hope, and community volunteers that provides free tax preparation services to low-to moderate-income households. IRS certified volunteers receive training to help prepare basic tax returns in their community.
