Goal
Our IRS-Certified volunteers provide year-round, free tax return preparation assistance to low-income and senior taxpayers who qualify on the basis of income or complexity. We work within the scope of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs, under the training, certification and supervision of the Internal Revenue Service's Stakeholder Partnerships, Education and Communication office.
Research shows that tax refunds are crucial for financial security. The Earned Income Tax Credit in particular plays an outsized role, helping families save and build assets to achieve economic stability. Economically stable families are at the heart of a stronger, more vibrant local economy.
In the Loveland area, we encounter nearly 2,000 clients and prepare over 1,600 returns each year. Our services result in direct savings to each taxpayer of hundreds of dollars in preparation fees and helps relieve the burden many taxpayers face in understanding and complying with federal and state tax filing requirements.
We are an ALL-VOLUNTEER organization. There are no paid staff, and all of our services are free of charge, but there are real costs associated with providing them. All funding and donations are used for direct assistance to our community. Thank you for making that happen.
