DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Washington, DC seeks a vendor to provide Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) services. The VITA program, originating from the Tax Reform Act of 1969, focuses on increasing taxpayer education, particularly among underserved populations.

The program offers free tax preparation help to low to moderate income individuals—defined by the earned income tax credit (EITC) threshold—including persons with disabilities, those with limited English proficiency, Native Americans, rural residents, members of the Armed Forces and their spouses, and elderly individuals. Services are rendered by trained volunteers who prepare basic income tax returns for eligible community members.
