EITC Tax Awareness Day
Last Friday we celebrated EITC Tax Awareness Day. This day was started to help raise awareness of the Earned Income Tax Credit. This is a special tax credit that many people are not aware of, but may be able to qualify for. VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) volunteers joined together on this day at the UCCU Riverwoods in Provo and helped members of our community file taxes. Mayor John Curtis even stopped by to talk to the volunteers and community members about the VITA program.

VITA provides free tax filing for tax payers who make less than 49,000 a year. This program is run by many volunteers who help file community members taxes for no charge! For more information about this program or to sign up for free tax preparation, call 2-1-1.
