Tacos & Taxes to help low income families file returns in the South Bay
February 24, 2025
From NBC7: “Elizabeth Moran of Chula Vista needed help filing her taxes this year. Saturday morning, Moran was the first in line to get free VITA tax preparation. The acronym refers to an expert who is IRS-certified in Volunteer Income Tax Assistance. The tax experts calculated deductions, credits, and any other financial benefits that could help low-income families obtain their largest refund.
“The free assistance was sponsored by Golden State Opportunity and Dreams for Change , non-profit organizations that educate anyone struggling with finances and who benefit from their programs providing basic needs.
“They partnered with other community organizations ready to help taxpayers making less than $67,000 a year. After completing a tax appointment, free tacos were available as an incentive for getting returns completed.”
