Rep. Thompson Promotes Free Tax Preparation Service

From the Office of U.S. Representative Mike Thompson:

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-05) will visit Catholic Charities of Solano County in Vallejo to highlight the center’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. The VITA program offers assistance from volunteers certified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to individuals who generally earn $54,000 a year or less, or who have disabilities or limited English language abilities, to prepare their income tax returns. VITA programs also help taxpayers claim refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). The VITA program is jointly sponsored by the IRS and the American Bar Association and provides grants to non-profit organizations in the community to make these free tax preparation clinics available.
