Free Tax Assistance (VITA)

The IRC in Utah offers free tax preparation services through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.

VITA is an IRS‑certified, community‑based program that helps individuals and families file accurate tax returns and access the tax credits they qualify for—at no cost.

Services are available to anyone in the community who meets the income guidelines.
