VITA SITE

Free Tax Preparation

Free Tax Preparation is being offered at the United Way Financial Stability Initiative office in Ponca City. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance or VITA site offers free tax help to individuals with low-to-moderate income. To be eligible this year, families must have made less than $50,000 and individuals less than $43,000.

Taxes are prepared by IRS-certified community volunteer tax preparers who undergo training to be able to help individuals claim all the benefits they deserve. The tax preparers can help with special credits, such as Earned Income Tax Credit where one may qualify for up to $4,824, as well as Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly.

In addition to free tax return preparation assistance, the site offers free electronic filing (e-filing). Individuals taking advantage of the e-file program will receive their refunds in half the time compared to returns filed on paper – even faster if you have the refund deposited directly into a bank account.

The Financial Stability Initiative goals are to assist working families in achieving their financial goals. The aim of the program is to decrease poverty and expand economic independence in Kay County by increasing participation and use of Tax Credits by eligible families. This is done through free tax assistance, financial education, and connecting individuals to community resources that will help build a secure financial future.
