IRS-certified volunteers are ready to assist residents in the Green Valley area with income tax preparation and e-filing. There are four locations to choose from, and the operations will differ slightly at each of the locations. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program will operate sites at the GVR East Center, St. Francis-In-The-Valley Episcopal church and the Sahuarita Food Bank. AARP Tax-Aide will operate a tax site starting in February.Â
Volunteers at the East Center and St. Francis Church had previously worked in the AARP program, but moved to the VITA program when AARP decided not to reopen any of their Southern Arizona Tax-Aide sites for the remainder of the 2019 tax season.
