During tax season, Lifeline provides tax preparation assistance for the community through the VITA Program. This program, in partnership with the IRS, allows low to moderate-income households to participate in free tax preparation sessions with IRS certified tax preparation volunteers.

The goal is to maximize the amount of the tax return and provide basic financial literacy information. Applicants must live in Lake County and meet program income eligibility. Call Lifeline at 211 or 440.639.4420 to schedule an appointment today!
