Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program for Tax Year 2007 February 2 thru April 12, 2008 Phoenix, Arizona		VITA Flyer Volunteer Flyer Volunteer Application Information for Filing

The Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, Inc. (ITCA) will be hosting a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site at its office located at 2214 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona. Volunteers will provide free tax preparation services to individuals and families with low-to-moderate income.

Last year, volunteers at the ITCA VITA site filed tax returns for low-income working families to claim tax benefits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC is the largest federal tax benefit program that provides over $32 billion to eligible families. However, approximately 25% of eligible families do not claim the EITC. On average, families may receive $1,800 in EITC and as high as $4,536. As a volunteer, you can help eligible families claim the EITC in addition to other tax benefits such as the Child Tax Credit and Education Tax Credit.

The ITCA VITA site will be operating on Saturday mornings from 8:00am to 12:00pm for 11 weeks beginning February 2, 2008 and continue through April 12, 2008.
