Chandler’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is possible because of community volunteers who offer free tax preparation and submission to low and moderate income taxpayers, plus the elderly and those with disabilities.

From February 1st through April 10th, through a combination of walk-in and scheduled appointments, VITA volunteers operate two tax preparation sites within Chandler. Last year, Chandler volunteers helped almost 700 individuals and families collect more than $1 million in refunds, often within eight days using direct deposit and VITA’s free electronic filing. As a result of this service, these families are able to pay bills, save for a future home, repair a current home, prepare for retirement, and develop long term assets.
