All returns prepared through a VITA Tax Prep site are done at no charge. As many VITA sites are located near paid tax preparers, before you sit down to have them prepare your tax return, always ask, “Is this a VITA site? Is there any charge for preparing my federal and state forms?” If there is a charge quoted, leave immediately and contact 2-1-1 to verify the address of the VITA site.
