NASHVILLE, Tenn (Jan 29, 2024)- Today, United Way of Greater Nashville and partner agencies officially kicked off the 20th annual Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) free tax prep program.
Through VITA, IRS-certified tax preparers provide free tax preparation services to individuals and families who earned $70,000 or less per household in 2023, helping qualifying individuals receive important credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit that lift millions out of poverty each year.

The average taxpayer spends $300 to have their taxes prepped and filed at paid tax service providers. Thanks to the VITA free tax prep program, volunteers help low- to moderate-income individuals save crucial dollars that could go toward rent, food, childcare and gas. Last year, VITA volunteers completed almost 9,000 returns, helping taxpayers save more than $2.7 million in tax preparation fees.
“With expenses increasing, now more than ever it is important to keep more of what you have earned,” said United Way of Greater Nashville President and CEO Brian Hassett. “For the last 20 years, our VITA free tax prep program has worked with so many of our neighbors to do just that. The VITA program helps thousands of individuals and families save by keeping their full tax return in their pockets.” Taxpayers can find their nearest VITA site and more information about the program by visiting unitedwayfilefree.com or through United Way’s 211 Helpline by calling 211 or texting their ZIP code to 898-211.
