Every year Four Bands operates a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site where we help people file their income tax returns free of charge. An important part of this work is making sure they claim all of the tax credits they can, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). This year, the EITC added an average of $2,373 to each refund we processed. Thirteen staff and volunteers worked through this year’s extended tax season to help our local families.
