Lancaster County's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program announced that it has filled all its available appointments for drop-off tax preparation services. About 4,300 drop-off appointments were available.
However, VITA continues to offer two other free options for Lancaster County residents seeking to file their 2020 tax returns: Get Your Refund and My Free Taxes. Both are available at http://www.freetaxpreplancaster.org.
Get Your Refund is an option for anyone with an income of $66,000 or less. Taxpayers upload their financial documents to a secure server, following step-by-step instructions. Their documents are reviewed, and their tax return is prepared by a certified tax preparer. Clients are then contacted by the tax preparer assigned to them for intake and quality review and to digitally sign off on the completed tax return.
My Free Taxes works similarly but leads clients through the steps needed to complete the tax return themselves without the need for a preparer. This service is free for both state and federal returns and includes all necessary forms. Assistance is available by calling 866-698-9435 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
