United Way of RI Announces 20 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Sites

United Way of Rhode Island (UWRI) announced 20 organizations that will serve as 2017 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites. The 20 organizations were awarded funds through the UWRI’s most recent three-year VITA grant process, and each site is trained and certified by the IRS. 

Each site is staffed by trained volunteers who make sure that individuals who are eligible access important tax credits like Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. 

The sites will start offering services during the week of January 23, 2017, with locations offering assistance in both English and Spanish.
