Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program<\/span><\/b><\/p>

La Casa de Esperanza operates a community-based, IRS-sponsored\u00a0Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program<\/b>, with additional support from the United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County. The program offers\u00a0free federal and state income tax preparation and filing<\/b>\u00a0for low- to moderate-income individuals and families.<\/p>

A key focus is ensuring that eligible clients claim the\u00a0Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)<\/b>\u2014a benefit that often increases refunds by more than $1,000. To better serve our community, La Casa provides\u00a0culturally competent, bilingual tax services<\/b>, with special outreach to underserved community.<\/p>

Thanks to the support of\u00a0Peoples State Bank<\/b>, La Casa expanded into Milwaukee, opening a location that extends access to VITA services as well as other programs through our\u00a0Center for Financial Stability (CFS)<\/b>.<\/p>
