Income Tax Assistance
Income tax returns are due on

Tax Assistance (VITA) program is a cooperative effort by the

by the IRS and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) prepare
basic income tax returns for free. Most VITA sites also offer
free electronic filing.
VITA income tax assistance is available for:
• Low-to-moderate income individuals (generally income of
$53,000 or less)
• Individuals with disabilities
• Non-English speaking taxpayers
• Military personnel
• Elderly individuals
• Individuals who qualify for the homestead credit or the earned
income credit
DOR sponsors five sites and there are dozens of other sites
throughout the state. You can
search for a VITA
site near you and see the hours of operation. Many sites
require an appointment and you should contact the site directly
to schedule an appointment.
More information about the VITA program is available
here.
