Our Volunteers Have Helped 55,821 Hawaii Residents Save Over $11.7 Million
Help Us To Offer This Valuable Service To More Hawaii Residents
The Hawaii VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Program is operated by Hawaii Tax Help and Financial Empowerment Solutions, a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization. Every year, we offer free tax return preparation services to income-eligible Hawaii residents. By using our free tax preparation services, the average taxpayer saves approximately $250. Since 2006, we have helped 55,821 Hawaii residents save over $11.7 Million in tax preparation fees.
This valuable service is made possible through the generosity of individuals who give up their time after work and on weekends to train, obtain IRS-certification as volunteer tax return preparers, and prepare tax returns at various sites across the State of Hawaii.
Approximately 4 years ago, we began recruiting and training high school students to become certified volunteer tax return preparers as part of our “Learn Early. Live Smarter.” initiative. Thus far, 292 high school students from Pearl City, Kalani, Campbell, Waipahu, and Kapolei High Schools have successfully obtained their IRS-certification.
Please donate today to help us to recruit, train, and otherwise support more volunteers and to open additional tax preparation sites so that we can offer this valuable service to more Hawaii residents, especially those on the neighbor islands who live in remote and/or rural areas.
