ABOUT
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program offers tax preparation services to low income families and individuals at no cost. That’s right, it’s absolutely FREE! Volunteers from the community are trained and certified by the IRS to prepare tax returns and identify tax credits that often go unclaimed by those who need dollars most. Each year, volunteers help return hundreds of thousands of dollars to the North Penn and Indian Valley communities. Last year, $3.6 million dollars was returned across Montgomery County.
To make a tax appointment to have your taxes prepared for FREE call our office at 215-855-3002, Extension 110.
