Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Services
In 2001, Metro United Way joined with the Annie E. Casey Foundation and several local partners to launch the Louisville Asset Building Coalition (LABC) to help hardworking families capitalize on the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and other eligible tax credits. LABC works with the IRS and a program called Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) to provide free income tax preparation for families with household incomes up to $66,000.
Since launching, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) services have
helped 148,073 tax filers
Served 148,073 tax filers with the help of hundreds of volunteers
Helped return over $224M in tax refunds, with over $81 million in the form of the EITC
Saved filers over $32M providing these services free of charge
Connected filers to bank accounts and other services to help them build financial assets
