Save your hard-earned money- get your taxes prepared for FREE at The Unity Council! If you make less than $54,000/year, you can qualify for free tax preparation by IRS-certified volunteers through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. If you have questions about the program, are curious if you qualify, or if you’d like to make an appointment, please call: 510-535-6101.
Our VITA site saves over $1 Million in tax refunds from clients each year. You could qualify for cash back tax-credits for filing – like the Earned Income Tax Credit. Plus, the volunteers at our VITA site can help you understand where your money went and how to file next year.
