AMES, Iowa — Low- and moderate-income Iowans can have their tax returns prepared for free by trained and IRS-certified volunteers at nearly 150 sites across Iowa. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach supports Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), one of the programs providing this service. ISU Extension and Outreach works with local partners to recruit and train volunteers and provide technical support for VITA sites in 42 rural counties, said Barb Wollan, an ISU Extension and Outreach family finance specialist.
