Salina’s free Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program sponsored by the Salina Area United Way will be at a new location with a few program changes from previous years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The program served over 900 people last year, despite shutting down early due to COVID-19 in 2020. In years prior, it served over 1,600 taxpayers.
The new VITA location will be the Salina Area United Way office, 113 N. 7th St., where clients can pick up forms in the organization’s lobby to get the process started. Only one individual or one family, all wearing masks, will be allowed in the volunteer-staffed lobby at all times. Clients may complete the intake form in their vehicle at the parking site or at home. Detailed instructions on required identification documents are printed on the forms, which must be returned to the United Way lobby no later than March 29.
