VITAVITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) is pleased to provide free electronic (E-File) and paper Income Tax filing assistance for low to moderate income, and elderly tax filers, again this season. VITA has been assisting filers in Nassau County for over ten years helping over 500 tax payers each year. VITA volunteers are tested and certified by the Internal Revenue Service. This free service is provided by the IRS, the Real $ense Prosperity Campaign, a United Way Initiative, and in partnership with the Nassau County Public Library.

Tax filing assistance begins on January 26th and continues through April 15th. Tax filers who elect to have their returns E-Filed and are due a refund can expect their refund within two to three weeks with direct deposit.
