Free tax services for

rural communities

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program provides Free Tax Preparation Services for rural communities. The Community Connect eBus program partners with local and regional non-profit organizations, local banks, colleges, and businesses to reach rural communities.  In addition to VITA tax preparation assistance, we offer a Money Matters Financial Literacy Series with topics on credit counseling, budgeting, filing out employment documents and calculating withholdings, homebuyer education, assistance in opening bank accounts, and foreclosure prevention workshops.

How It Works

Creating an easily accessible program has always been a core value. TCCF eBus brings free tax preparation services and financial literacy education directly to neighborhoods and communities that qualify as low-to-moderate-income or have hard-to-reach rural populations.
