The Providence VITA/EITC Coalition includes Amos House, Capital City Community Center, Center for Southeast Asians, Genesis Center, Mount Hope Community Center, OpenDoors, and the Providence Spanish SDA Church. VITA services are free and confidential and provide quality returns prepared by IRS-certified volunteers. VITA certified tax preparers make sure that taxpayers claim any Earned Income Tax Credit and other credits for which they qualify, so that our neighbors keep more of their hard earned income in their pockets.
