Claim Your Tax Credits & Get Free Help! Claim Your Tax Credits & Get Free Help!

Tax season is here, and you may be owed hundreds or even thousands of dollars in tax credits. Even if you aren’t normally required to file, it is worth it to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Child Tax Credit. Plus, if you have children and receive the EITC, you are automatically eligible for 3SquaresVT, a crucial tool for supporting grocery budgets!

If your household earns $89,000 or less, you can file for free by April 15, 2026, using these resources:

  • GetYourRefund.org: Get help from an IRS-certified volunteer online or find an in-person VITA site near you.

  • MyFreeTaxes.com: A great option to file your own taxes for free online if you do not have self-employment income.

  • VermontFoodHelp.com: Visit this site to learn more about food security and tax credit connections.

  • Local Assistance: You can also connect with your local Community Action Agency for personalized free tax help.

Don't miss out on the refund you deserve!
