Program Description:
VITA offers free tax help to low-moderate income individuals and families; including young adults, adults, senior citizens, persons with disabilities and those with limited English.
This program is vital for low and moderate people because there are many individuals who either don’t know that they qualify for programs that will provide a significant tax rebate (i.e. the Earned Income Tax Credit); or they don’t file at all and lose any refund that may be due to them.
This initiative is funded by the IRS and supports a unique partnership between Norwescap and the United Way of Northern New Jersey. Norwescap files over 3,000 tax returns annually, and together, we have saved individuals and families — thousands of dollars.
