Increase Funding for the VITA Grant Program
Join our campaign to significantly increase federal funding to expand the impact of this vital program and meet the growing needs of working families.
It's Time to Scale Up!
The Community Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program provides a safe and cost effective alternative to self preparation, paid tax preparers and tax preparation software. In addition, volunteer tax preparation programs compliment IRS Taxpayer Services by encouraging voluntary compliance and offering an accessible alternative to other IRS service channels.
NCTC is working in collaboration with National Disability Institute, the Real Economic Impact Tour, and United Way Worldwide to organize VITA Programs and advocate for this important funding increase.
We ask Congress to:
- Appropriate $35 million in FY2011 for the VITA Grant Program
- Allocate $5 million of this amount toward the creation of a National Center to Promote Quality & Evaluation of VITA, which will provide specialized technical assistance to programs
