TAX HELP AVAILABLE

The AARP Tax Aid Program and the IRS VITA Program are teaming up to provide free tax preparation for seniors and working families at sites throughout the Manatee County.

Each year, too many families eligible to receive Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) dollars do not because they don’t know how to claim the credit. Tax preparers at AARP and VITA sites are trained to help taxpayers make the most of their return through all available credits.

Tropicana Federal Credit Union is making Rapid Refunds through Refund Anticipation Loans available at deposit accounts at the credit union for participants taking advantage of this Free Tax Preparation Service.

Central Community Redevelopment Agency
