Each year United Way of Central Jersey helps complete hundreds of free tax returns for people in need through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, resulting in hundreds of dollars kept in our communities. The Middlesex County, NJ VITA Coalition is requiting additional volunteers in various capacities to help with this effort. Volunteers must complete certification timely and be ready to start by February 1 2023 through April 30, 2023.
