Virtual VITA Appointments

The Community Action Agency's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is currently using a virtual tax preparation model during the COVID-19 emergency. Virtual VITA allows residents to use an online platform to securely upload their tax documents and have their taxes prepared for free by a certified tax preparer. No in-person contact is required, allowing for the health and safety of staff and community members to be maintained.

NEW! Now scheduling virtual appointments for 2020 taxes.

Montgomery County residents with household incomes of $57,000 or less
may call 240-777-1123 to schedule a VIRTUAL appointment.
