Tax Preparation Services

River of Life Foundation is an IRS-certified Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) center that offers free tax filing service to people who make annual income $60,000 or less, persons with disabilities and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.

Our approach is unique because we understand that our community’s most critical issues are inter-related.  We want to make a positive impact, helping thousands of local residents become financially stable and self-sufficient.

2024 - In-Person Appointments Only!

Our entire VITA program will be conducted in person this year! If your annual household income is less than $60,000, and you need assistance with your taxes, you can receive free tax help during this tax season. Registration is from February 4, 2024 to the end of March, 2024. Please text 408-567-0877 to schedule an appointment.


WHY THIS WORK IS IMPORTANT

Tax season can be a stressful time for many people, as they round up tax documents and receipts, and make sense of confusing tax forms. Additionally, many of these families face additional challenges in doing their own taxes – English may not be their primary language or they may have limited computer skills. 

HOW WE DO IT

We train volunteer tax preparers to help individuals and families claim their maximum benefit and refund.
