VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE

The Connecticut Association for Human Services (CAHS), in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service, United Way of Greater Waterbury and United Way of Naugatuck & Beacon Falls manages the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which prepares tax returns at no cost for families that generally earn less than $63,000 per year.

The program provides several benefits including:
•            Helping workers feel confident that their returns are filed accurately
•            Promoting the value of saving money at tax time
•            Increasing the economic viability in Greater Waterbury

In 2023, VITA volunteer tax preparers:
•            Prepared more than 800 returns at 11 sites throughout Waterbury
•            Obtained more than $1,200,000 in refunds and Federal Earned Income Tax Credits
•            Saved clients more than $200,000 in tax preparation fees, based on an estimated, average $250 per return
