UPDATE: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program has concluded. Check back soon for updates.
United Way each year helps hundreds of local families prepare their income taxes, free of charge, with our Volunteer Income Tax Assistant (VITA) program.
How it Works
Trained volunteers will prepare taxes for FREE for Quad Citizens with a household income of $57,000 or less — and make sure you receive all tax credits you are eligible for including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC).
In 2022, tax preparation is offered in person primarily by appointment, with an option for walk-in services, from Feb. 1 through April 9. Drop-off tax preparation is available by appointment from Feb. 2 to April 13, in partnership with AARP.

Special Thanks
The Quad Cities VITA Coalition is led by United Way Quad Cities, in collaboration with AARP of Western Illinois and AARP of Eastern Iowa.
Thank you to our volunteers and host sites for allowing us to offer this much in-demand service.
United Way also thanks tax filers for respecting and following health and safety guidelines as posted by tax preparation sites to prevent the spread of illness.
