Many taxpayers could overlook important tax benefits because they don’t know about them. Don’t let this happen to you. VITA is a free program that allows you to get your taxes prepared and filed for free. The program is coordinated locally by volunteers from one or more community-based organizations. To schedule your appointment, visit us at HERE. For more information on VITA Tax Preparation and/or other programs, call Clayton County Extension at 770-473-3945 or email us at claytonextension@uga.edu.
