Super VITA Day on March 14th
In collaboration with the City of Gaithersburg, the Community Action Agency VITA program will lead a Super VITA Day event at Bohrer Park on March 14th from 11 AM to 2 PM. County residents with household incomes of $69,000 or less can have their tax returns completed for free. This is a walk-in event and no previously scheduled appointment is necessary. However, residents must arrive by 1:30 pm to be guaranteed a walk-in tax filing appointment.
The event will also include a resource fair featuring financial institutions and service providers from across the County.
