Welcome to the online Connecticut VITA calendar where you can book your own free tax appointment at several of the VITA sites in Connecticut.

The VITA program is for individuals who generally make $58,000 or less, persons with disabilities and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. Also, individuals who are self-employed should have business expenses less than $25,000 and individuals should not have income from a rental property.
