VITA, or Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, provides free electronic (e-file) and paper income tax filing assistance. This free service is provided by the IRS, the United Way initiative, RealSense Prosperity Campaign and in partnership with Career Source.
2023 tax season filing assistance began on Jan. 30 and runs through April 13.
Taxes will be prepared at the Career Source offices, located at 96042 Lofton Square Court in Yulee, next to the Winn-Dixie. Appointments are required, with no walk-ins allowed. Call Career Source at 904-432-0009, ext. 2660, for a reservation.
The IRS requires photo identification for the taxpayer and spouse, if applicable, and an original Social Security card for everyone on the return in order for taxes to be completed.
Bring your photo ID, Social Security card, your 2021 tax return and all 2022 tax documents, such as W-2s, 1099s, SSA-1099s and 1095 forms. If in doubt, bring in the document.
Pay stubs or other year-end documents are not workable.
