The VITA program is a free tax preparation service for local Santa Barbara County residents who make $67,000 or less a year. During the tax season of January through October, returns are prepared and electronically filed by IRS-certified volunteers for qualified individuals or families. Volunteer tax preparers can assist with general tax information, tax preparation, and filing, along with ITIN applications and renewals.
