Nevada Free Taxes Coalition

Nevada Free Taxes Coalition, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a federal grant recipient that delivers volunteer income tax assistance (VITA) and low-income taxpayer clinic (LITC) services to underserved and low- to moderate-income populations across Nevada. The organization operates exclusively as a prime recipient under IRS grant programs; it has no federal contracts and does not subcontract federal work.

Nevada Free Taxes Coalition's federal customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service, which has funded nine of its eleven awards over the past several years. The organization received a $150,000 VITA Matching Grant (CFDA 21.009) from the IRS effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, to prepare tax returns for individuals whose earned income does not exceed EITC thresholds (with at least 90 percent compliance), file all eligible returns electronically, enhance volunteer training, and strengthen quality control measures. This award represents the organization's most recent funding action and carries the expectation of demonstrating incremental increases in return preparation capacity year over year. The organization may utilize subrecipients to help deliver key program elements while adhering to IRS grant program guidelines. Prior VITA grants from the IRS covered the periods October 1, 2024–September 30, 2025 and October 1, 2023–September 30, 2024; the 2023–2024 award carried a de-obligation of unspent funds. Nevada Free Taxes Coalition also holds an IRS Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic grant (CFDA 21.008) dated January 1, 2022–December 31, 2022, under which the organization provided tax representation before the IRS or other tribunals, conducted educational activities on tax topics, and advocated on tax issues affecting low-income taxpayers earning no more than 250 percent of federal poverty guidelines and non-English-speaking taxpayers. Combined dollars obligated across all eleven awards total $4.8 million. The organization operates a single VITA grant award completing in the next twenty-four months, creating one recompete opportunity in that window.
