VITA – Tax Preparation

United Way of Lapeer County is proud to partner with several Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site locations, offering free tax filing services to individuals earning less than $64,000 a year. During tax filing season, we understand the significance of providing accessible resources to our community. These free tax services not only ease the financial burden on individuals and families, but also contribute to overall community well-being. Together, we can empower our community through this support during tax season.
