VITA program offers free tax prep services for Teton Valley residents Even in the best of circumstances, filing taxes can easily feel daunting or intimidating. This year, as many families are reflecting on pandemic-induced unemployment, nationwide economic tumult, medical bills, and other unexpected financial upheaval, the specter of Tax Time may feel even more overwhelming. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance â an IRS-sponsored tax preparation program â trains volunteers to help with federal and state tax filing for a wide variety of individuals and households. The program is open to the vast majority of the community, and is completely free of cost. In collaboration with the Valley of the Tetons Library, an enthusiastic trio of adept volunteers is currently accepting community members who would like some help filing their 2020 taxes. Kathleen Haar, Sue Miller, and Ken Kirkpatrick have received IRS training and certification to prepare taxes for Teton Valley residents.
