The Community Action Agency was awarded a $241,274 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Matching Grant from the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service. The VITA program, authorized under the CFDA 21.009, provides matching funds to organizations extending free tax preparation services to underserved populations, including low-to-moderate income individuals, those with disabilities, non-native English speakers, Native Americans, rural residents, military members and families, and the elderly. Through this October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 project grant, the Community Action Agency will utilize subrecipients to deliver free tax preparation assistance in hardest to reach urban and non-urban areas of Michigan. Key deliverables include increasing electronic filing capacity, enhancing volunteer training, and improving return accuracy to exceed 90% for returns at or below the Earned Income Tax Credit threshold. The agency aims to meet 100% of its return preparation goals while improving cost efficiency and demonstrating year-over-year growth in returns completed.
