United Way free tax prep
Volunteers with United Way of Greater Cincinnati’s Free Tax Prep initiative helped file almost 9,300 returns for individuals and families by Tax Day, exceeding last year’s season total.
More than 500 IRS-certified volunteers worked alongside taxpayers throughout Greater Cincinnati, saving them about $2.5 million in preparation fees and helping them claim more than $11.1 million in refunds.
“This year’s results show what’s possible when our community comes together to support one another,” said Moira Weir, President and CEO of United Way of Greater Cincinnati. “We are grateful to the volunteers who gave their time and expertise to help their neighbors. The prep fees saved and refunds claimed help families cover essentials, reduce financial stress and strengthen our local economy.”
Free Tax Prep is a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program funded by the IRS and United Way.
United Way believes all families should be able to achieve economic well-being, and Free Tax Prep volunteers play a key role in supporting the organization’s mission by keeping more money in local families’ pockets.
