VITA Free Tax Preparation is
Cancelled for This Year


Free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance appointments are cancelled.  No safe way has been found to implement this program during Covid 19.  

In 2019, this program brought more than $9 million dollars in tax refunds back to residents in Humboldt, Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino,  and Del Norte counties.

Sponsors include the Humboldt County Library, the Redwood Action Agency, and United Way of the Wine Country, as well as many other local participating groups.

Volunteer tax preparers go through a thorough training provided by the IRS.
