Welcome To EBALDC’s VITA Program!
Every year, the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC) hosts VITA, a program of the IRS that trains volunteers to provide free tax preparation for low-income individuals and families. VITA is an important and highly impactful poverty-alleviation tool that we pair with a Savings Initiative that encourages clients to save part of their refund. In 2025, our volunteers prepared over 1,150 returns and secured almost $1.6 million in refunds for the community.
2025-2026 Tax Season
At this time, our VITA sites are now closed. Please refer to United Way Bay Area’s Free Tax Help site to locate an available free tax site or free filing service.
For additional questions or concerns, please email sparkpoint@ebaldc.org.
