Individuals and families with a 2025 income of $69,000 or less qualify for free tax help from the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
VITA is a community-based program that offers professional, nonprofit-supported tax preparation at no cost in communities across America.
Tax filing has become more complicated due to new tax law changes, including discussions around no tax on tips, no tax on overtime pay, and no tax on car loan interest for vehicles manufactured in the United States.
Navigating these changes can be difficult without guidance, but VITA sites help ensure eligible filers claim the credits they’ve earned.
VITA services are funded by the IRS and through the West Virginia Department of Human Services via the Bureau for Family Assistance.
Residents can locate a VITA site near them by visiting WVASF.org, which provides up-to-date information on available locations statewide.
For those who prefer to file independently, MyFreeTaxes.com offers free, secure online tax filing through a platform operated by the nonprofit United Way.
