Trained volunteers for the IRS are still able to work with you through the process of filing your taxes and hopefully, getting the return check you deserve.
But this year, you cannot meet with those volunteers face-to-face. Instead, you will have to go over the forms and information over a Zoom call.
The VITA Free Tax Help Program At the University of Houston-Downtown is already up and running, and tax helpers there are finding the technology is not slowing them down when it comes to helping people file their taxes.

IRS Tax Filing Season Will Be Delayed In 2021
If you are one of the millions of Americans who count on your tax return for necessities (especially, if you have not yet received your second stimulus payment), it looks like you are going to need to wait a little while longer than normal to get that return.
According to WMTW, issues caused by the pandemic and the need to get those stimulus payments out as quick as possible has caused the IRS to delay the start of tax season.
Normally, tax season starts the second half of January. This year, it won t begin until February 12th.
