Can’t make any of these dates? Volunteers will also offer residents free tax prep help and determine if they are eligible to claim federal Earned Income Tax Credits at numerous local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites in Mississippi throughout the tax season. At some VITA sites, local community partners offer appointments for tax preparation services, as well as drop-off tax prep services, financial coaching, budget workshops, free legal services and more.
