Annually, the University of Iowa partners with Johnson County Social Services to provide tax free preparation assistance for low to moderate income Johnson County residents through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program. VITA is a national IRS sponsored program that helps taxpayers receive maximum federal and state refunds at no cost to the taxpayer.
Our volunteers provide free tax help, preparation, and filing. We offer electronic filing, so that taxpayers can receive their tax refunds quickly.
