Millions of low-to-moderate-income taxpayers rely on free, basic tax preparation each year, and thousands of ordinary VITA volunteers prepare these returns! The United Way of Central Jersey (UWCJ) needs you to help us assemble newly purchased chairs so our team of dedicated volunteers can be ready to start tax prep when the IRS e-file opens on January2 9th. Thank you!
Last season 160+ volunteers participated in this critical asset-building engagement and prepared approximately 3,000 returns. The results -$2 million in refunds returned to taxpayers in the community in the form of refunds, with filing fee savings to taxpayers of over $325,000.
United Way of Central Jersey teams up with the IRS and community partners each year to provide free tax services through VITA. United Way and its collaborators are the leading providers of volunteer income tax assistance in Middlesex County.
"This service is aimed at low and moderate-income taxpayers," said Gloria Aftanski, President of United Way of Central Jersey.
The IRS partners with United Way to direct a coalition of community partners in order to increase the reach of the VITA.
Thank you!
