VITA TAX PREPARATION ASSISTANCE | UNITED WAY OF CENTRAL IOWA

***Tax sites at United Way of Central Iowa and Polk County River Place are walk in only, no appointment necessary. Walk-in during open hours at each location to get tax filing help.

Tax preparation offered on a walk-in basis only during tax site hours, free to low and moderate income individuals. Available during tax season beginning February 6, 2024. To file taxes electronically on a married filing jointly tax return, both spouses must be present to sign the required forms.

Those looking to get their taxes done MUST bring a copy of their taxes from last year. Transcripts for last year's taxes can be obtained for FREE by either visiting the website, IRS.gov, or by calling (800) 908-9946. Taxpayers must also have copies of all income statements from the year (W2s and 1099s), as well as their driver's license or other photo ID and their social security card or ITIN to verify identity of all people on the tax return, including children.

If claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit, your refund will likely be delayed slightly due to IRS processing delays.
