The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Warren County is offering free tax help to families and individuals whose household income is below $55,000.

Trained community volunteers can help with special credits, such as Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit for which you may qualify. In addition to free tax return preparation assistance, free electronic filing (e-filing) will be offered.

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 they have their refund is deposited directly into their bank account.
