CEO is pleased to announce that our VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistant) program will resume again for the 2023 tax season, led by our long-time VITA Site Coordinator: George Betzinger.
This year CEO will be offering both in-person and online (virtual) tax preparation for the filing of 2022 taxes. Virtual VITA means that taxpayers who meet the eligibility criteria will upload their tax documents to a secure IRS sponsored website called “Get Your Refund” and a CEO certified volunteer tax preparer will complete the taxes and file them upon approval from the taxpayer. In-person services will be available in a limited capacity during the day on Wednesdays at our Community Resource Center during tax season.
All interested tax payers (including eligible CEO staff) should call CEO at 518-272-6012 ext. 333 and leave a message on the VITA voicemail box. Return calls will be made to schedule appointments within 1-2 business days. If interested in the fully virtual option, tax payers can email us at VITA@ceoempowers.org to receive the information packet and the link to our “Get Your Refund” site.
CEO is not hosting AARP tax preparation. Please call 888-227-7669 for more information and to find an AARP site near you.
