Free Tax Help Available for Eligible Montgomery County Residents


Montgomery County residents with combined household incomes of $67,000 or less can receive free tax preparation services through the Community Action Agency’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Virtual and in-person appointments are available now through April 10. In-person appointments are offered at several locations, including the Community Action Agency in Rockville, Casey Community Center in Gaithersburg and WorkSource Montgomery in Wheaton. All VITA programs serve residents filing with an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) and Community Action’s VITA program assists with ITIN applications on Wednesdays.

VITA helps connect residents with valuable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit, potentially boosting your refund by thousands of dollars. To schedule an appointment, call 240-777-1123 or visit the CASHBACK website. Don’t wait—appointments fill up quickly. Download the VITA Partnership flyer, available in English, Spanish, French, Amharic, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese, to learn more about all VITA locations in the County.
