FORT MYERS, Fla. — The United Way of Lee, Hendry, Glades and Okeechobee is offering free tax filing assistance through their Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
The program is offered to families making less than $66,000 per year.
United Way says VITA volunteers will work to prepare returns and determine if the taxpayers are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit or Childcare Credits, in addition to helping low-to-moderate income households meet their basic needs and build financial assets.
