VITA Tax Help

Free tax help and filing for qualifying individuals and families is offered by VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) through Johnson County Social Services.

There are 2 ways to use their service:

Option 1: Schedule an appointment to have your tax return completed by an IRS-certified tax preparer at the library while you sit with them.

Option 2: Use VITA's software to prepare and file your own federal and state tax returns online for FREE anytime, anywhere if your household meets the income requirements. On the VITA website, choose the TaxAct or Online Taxes link. For in-person assistance while you use the software, stop by one of the drop-in events listed below.

The drop-in sessions are February 1 - April 9, 2025 on Mondays 2 - 8pm, Wednesdays 2 - 8pm, and Saturdays 11am - 5pm. Laptops will be available and IRS-certified tax preparers can help with questions and review your forms before they're filed electronically.
