Tax preparation volunteers helping residents
SHREVEPORT, La. – Most households across northwest Louisiana are struggling to make ends meet. In response, United Way of NWLA in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service promotes the annual free tax preparation options available to the public. These programs that support financial stability, may help to relieve the financial burden of tax preparation fees for thousands of local households.
Eight local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites are open to the public. To qualify for free tax filing through the VITA program, taxpayers must earn less than $64,000. Volunteer tax preparers are IRS certified with extensive hours of training. They are trained to do simple returns with W-2 and 1099 forms (no itemized or business taxes).
See the chart below with the locations that are open through April 15.
