Did your family earn less than $42,000 last year? If so, you qualify for FREE tax preparation and possibly the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Our free tax preparation sites ensure that you claim all your eligible benefits. For example, many families may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, which can be as much as $4,700 for some families. Volunteers are IRS certified and ready to serve you this tax season. You can get your money back in 7-10 days with free direct-deposit and free e-file.

Simply dial 2-1-1 on your phone to be referred to the nearest free tax preparation site. This program is supported by local nonprofit organizations across Tennessee and the Tennessee Department of Human Services.

Here is what one VITA volunteer had to say about her experience last tax season: "Numbers and I had never previously been friends. I thought I must be joking myself when I signed up for IRS training to serve as a volunteer tax preparer. I was amazed and excited by how easy and all-inclusive the training was. Strangely enough I ended up loving preparing taxes. The whole process of it was interesting, but working one on one with families was the most rewarding. I look forward to volunteering again this year!"
