Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is a federal programcreated 40+ years ago. In the 2016 tax season, more than 5,816 Broward County taxpaying working
families and individuals took advantage of the VITA program and hadtheir income taxes prepared by trained VITA volunteers. More than $6.3 million in taxes were refunded to
working families. Nearly 40% of the individuals assisted last year qualifiedfor additional tax credits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Individuals who have not
