2025 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Sites

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Sites are certified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to assist low- and moderate-income taxpayers to file their taxes for free.

VITA volunteers have a much higher accuracy rate than paid tax preparers who often make mistakes and frequently miss the new Foster Youth Tax Credit, worth up to $1,189 in 2026.

If a young adult is looking for free, one-on-one assistance with completing their taxes, a VITA site is a good option. This roster includes sites operated by organizations that specifically serve current and former foster youth, as well as general VITA sites. As noted in the roster, some general VITA sites have undergone training on how to claim the FYTC and best practices for working with young adults from foster care. 

PLEASE NOTE: While the VITA roster remains accessible, many sites pause appointments and/or operations during off season. Therefore, you may not be able to schedule or get in contact with sites until the start of the 2026 tax season in late January.
