Through the United Way Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, individuals and families with an annual household income of less than $70,000 can file their taxes for free.

Local VITA Coordinator Debbie Curtis says last year's program kept money in the pockets of those who utilized their free services:

Since the start of the VITA program locally in 2012, more than 14-million dollars has been invested back into Rutherford and Cannon counties. 

United Way VITA sites are located at Patterson Park Community Center in Murfreesboro, Smyrna Town Hall and La Vergne Public Library. For hours of operation, visit YourLocalUW.org/VITA or dial 2-1-1. No appointments necessary.

Individuals and families can also file for free anytime, anywhere with www.myfreetaxes.com. For more information, dial 2-1-1 or visit YourLocalUW.org/VITA
