The Tulsa Area United Way, in partnership with the Internal Revenue Service and other local organizations, assists families with free preparation of their income tax returns through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program.

This program helps local residents, whose household income is less than $55,000 a year, to access tax credits for which they are eligible, including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit, and Education Credit. The VITA program utilizes IRS-trained community volunteers to provide this free service to local residents.
