Fridays at the Goleta Community Center by Appointment
United Way’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program returns to the Goleta Community Center (5679 Hollister Avenue) Friday’s during tax season. The VITA program provides free tax filing services to local qualifying residents throughout Santa Barbara County. Households making $67,000 or less can visit a participating location to have their taxes prepared and filed for free.
The VITA program will operate at sites throughout the county via appointment only February 2 – April 15, including the Goleta Community Center, UC Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Public Library’s Eastside Branch, and United Way of Santa Barbara County. Program volunteers are IRS-certified tax preparers, and can help households prepare, and electronically file their tax returns. VITA volunteers can also assist with Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) applications and renewals.
