US: IRS has new online tool for “Lower-Paid Taxpayers”

08 February, 2012

As part of its effort to improve service to taxpayers, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the availability of a new online tool to help taxpayers to find more easily a location for volunteer tax preparation assistance.

The new tool, available on the IRS website, makes it easier for qualified individuals to find free help through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) programme. Volunteers at VITA locations generally offer tax preparation for people with incomes of USD50,000 or less free of charge.
