Free Tax assistance available for older Illinoisans, working-class filers

Most Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and AARP Tax-Aide programs, which provide free basic income tax return assistance, are accepting appointments this year (there will not be walk-in service).

Check out these options available for those who still need assistance:

Illinois taxpayers can file their state returns for free at MyTax.Illinois.gov. If you have income tax questions, email REV.TA-IIT@illinois.gov or call (800) 732-8866. Qualified taxpayers may also be eligible to participate in the IRS’ Free File program for federal returns (more details here).

Call to set up an appointment at an open tax site nearest you. Sites will be updated regularly and short notice changes are possible.
