Welcome to the online Connecticut VITA calendar where you can book your own free tax appointment.
The VITA program is for individuals who generally make $56,000 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.
Use the dropdowns at the left to select the type of tax return and assistance you need in order to find a location that can best prepare your taxes:
- Basic Tax Return: Select if not itemizing your deductions, no health savings account, and your income was only from CT sources.
- Advanced Tax Return: Select if you itemize deductions, own your own business (1099 income including rideshare income), or have retirement income.
- Basic Tax Return w/ Health Savings Account (HSA): Select if you have a Health Savings Account, but do not itemize deductions.
- Multi-State Tax Return: Select if you received income in more than 1 state in 2019 or lived in one state and earned income in a different state (e.g. lived in CT but worked in NY).
- SPANISH - Basic Tax Return: Seleccione si no se detallan sus deducciones, ninguna cuenta de ahorros para la salud, y su ingreso solo provino de CT
