VITA / TCE Free Tax Preparation

IRS-supported volunteer tax-preparation program

VITA / TCE Free Tax Preparation

Industry Tax

An IRS-supported network of Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly sites offering free basic tax preparation for qualifying taxpayers. VITA/TCE scores well because it converts tax filing from a paid extraction point into trained community assistance for lower-income, disabled, elderly, and limited-English taxpayers.

Why this matters: VITA/TCE is the strongest tax-filing alternative in this pass because it directly helps people least able to pay tax-prep tolls.
