Free Income Tax Assistance is Available

Georgia Federal Credit Union (GFCU) is partnering again this year with the Internal Revenue Service and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences of the University of Georgia to provide the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.

The VITA program extends FREE tax return assistance to individuals and families with low to moderate income. Two VITA sites will be open from January 30 – April 10, and GFCU representatives will also be available to open savings and checking accounts for those filing returns. The program will also be offered in Dalton (3rd year) as well as Dublin (1st year) and Atlanta. Click here to view walk in times or sign up for an appointment.
