Together with Neighborhood Centers Inc. (NCI), CCC's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program provides free income tax preparation to low-income, elderly, disabled and limited English speaking people. In order to be eligible, household income must be less than $50,000 per year.
In the 2010-2011 season, our Center had over 40 professional certified CPA and enrolling agents that volunteered 2,293 hours of their time. Following a great cycle in 2010, the volunteers this year saw 7% more people and filed 1355 tax returns! CCC impacted 2455 total individuals who received $2,260,940 in refunds, and $981,491 in Earned Income Credit. With our participants speaking 20 languages, our VITA volunteers worked extra hard and did a fantastic job! A special thank you to Holly Brock of NCI for coordinating this great program in our community!
The program is open from January 30th to April 16th every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday from 1:00-6:00pm on a walk-in basis.
