Free Tax Help With VITA

January 16, 2025

On this episode of Lunch Break With The Village we discussed how you can make the most of this tax season with free tax help through our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and chart the course of your financial future with other resources through The Village’s Financial Opportunity Center.

Offered in partnership with United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut and 2-1-1 Connecticut, VITA helps qualifying households file their taxes for FREE, access asset-building opportunities and financial education, and more.

We learned:

  • About free tax preparation, including online options
  • How to ensure you access valuable credits
  • Other financial resources The Village’s Financial Opportunity Center
  • and more!

Our guests were Laura O’Keefe, Director of The Village’s Financial Opportunity Center, and Taniqua Huguley-Chaplin, Director of Economic Mobility for United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut.
