The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is a program sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that works with Connecticut Association for Human Services (CAHS) and The New Haven Free Public Library to provide free tax preparation services to help low income taxpayers receive their tax refunds at no cost to them. The target population for VITA are individuals who qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). For a family of four to qualify for the federal EITC, they must earn under $60,000 annually.
