How to Start a VITA Site in Your Community

How to Start a VITA Site in Your Community: Bringing More Dollars into the Local Economy While Supporting Families

This toolkit was created based on the experience of local practitioners that have successfully created VITA programs in their communities. It includes many valuable lessons learned by the Community Tax Centers/Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites working throughout Texas, many of them members of RAISE Texas and United Ways of Texas. This publication is designed to provide organizations, institutions, and collaborations the basic information of what VITA is, the basic steps for starting a VITA site and the key operational activity necessary to successfully operate a VITA site.

This toolkit is a partnership of the IRS Stakeholder Partnership Education and Communication (SPEC) office, RAISE Texas, and United Ways of Texas.
