VITA appointments to begin Jan. 25
By MEGHAN BRADBURY - | Jan 20, 2021
The free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, offered through United Way of Lee, Hendry, Glades and Okeechobee, will kick off at the end of the month for those individuals and families making less than $66,000 per year.
Area volunteer engagement manager Mary Meador said appointments will begin on Jan. 25 this year due to the IRS announcement that the agency will not begin accepting tax returns until Friday, Feb. 12. The VITA program, which is held at Lehigh Community Services, will begin completing tax returns on Jan. 25 and hold them in the system until they can be transmitted to the IRS on Feb. 12.
