United Way of South Central Tennessee (UWSCT) is offering its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, this year.
The program, which will be open from Feb. 3 until Apr. 11, connects households earning $84,000 or less with volunteers who will help with tax filing for free.
VITA is available at various locations, including 101 W. Lincoln St. in Tullahoma and 220 South Jefferson St. in Shelbyville.
Bring the following information to your appointment:
- A government issued photo ID for yourself and your spouse (if applicable)
- Social Security cards or ITIN documentation for each person on the tax return
- Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) for each individual (if set up with the IRS)
- Checking or savings account/routing info for deposit of refund or debit of balance due
- Relevant tax documents (such as W-2s)
