“Due to COVID-19, most sites will offer drop-off services only, where clients can drop off their tax documents and have them prepared by one of our VITA volunteers,” said Donna Hurley, Vice President of Community Impact at United Way of the Coastal Bend. “Others will offer both drop-off and face-to-face services. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as able so we can continue to safely provide these services to the community.”
Those wanting to take advantage of this free service can find the list of tax documents needed at www.uwcb.org/vita. Sites will open in late January and early February, with most offering services during site hours through the April 18th tax filing deadline.
