First, we prepare your tax return for free either in-person at our centrally located VITA sites or virtually through our Virtual VITA program.

Then, our IRS-certified quality reviewers will double-check the return, review it with you, obtain your signature, and e-file it.

That depends! Each VITA site has a different process for how they handle returns. Sites can be: walk-in only, appointment required, or virtual. You’ll need to contact the site you are interested in for more info.

If you earned more than $12,950 in 2022 you may be required to file a tax return. There are other cases where you may be required to file even if you earned less than that amount. Give us a call at (209)384-1329 to discuss your filing requirements.

Even if you aren’t required to file a tax return it may still be a good idea to file as you may qualify for the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) or Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC)
