United Way’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites are opening January 26th in Williamson County. These sites offer free tax preparation assistance for families and individuals with low to moderate incomes (making $49,000 or less). Last year, volunteers assisted families with their taxes resulting in $433,227 in total federal refunds coming back to Williamson County families.
 

United Way of Williamson County supports five VITA sites in Williamson (locations listed below). Each site is staffed by IRS-trained volunteers who assist with the qualification process and determine if individuals qualify for credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit and the Credit for the Elderly. Qualifying for these credits can mean that working families and individuals may keep more of what they earn. Last year, $129,877 in EITC refunds were returned to Williamson County residents. In addition to free tax preparation assistance, the sites offer free electronic filing which allows refunds to be directly deposited into a person’s bank account in seven to ten days.
 

United Way of Williamson County is part of the Tennessee Alliance for Financial Independence – a coalition that includes the IRS, Department of Human Services, the Nashville Wealth Building Alliance and other United Way-led financial stability initiatives throughout the State of Tennessee.
