The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program is a national program sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to help families maximize their tax returns and avoid the fees businesses charge to prepare taxes. Northern Virginia CASH is a coalition of community partners who support the VITA sites in Northern Virginia. Since 2008 Fairfax County Department of Family Services has provided operational support to the coalition partners. In 2024, the Department of Family Services VITA program prepared a total of 2,151 tax returns which yielded a total federal tax refund amount of $2,888,787, an increase of over $570,000 from last year. In addition, VITA helped individuals and families claim $1,203,777 in Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC), further maximizing tax benefits to support households.
In-person VITA services are available at several sites in Northern Virginia. Walk-ins are welcome, no appointments are needed. For more information, please send an email or call 703-533-5320 (please leave a message).
