Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
Education Credit Union now allows you the opportunity to file your taxes for free with the assistance of a Volunteer Tax Preparer certified by the IRS.
The VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program enables our trained team members to prepare, review, and file your taxes in accordance with Federal Tax Law.
Visit any of our four VITA sites throughout the Amarillo and Canyon community and our certified volunteers will be ready to help qualifying families file their taxes free of charge.
You can file your taxes with a certified preparer at either one of our Canyon locations, our AmTech branch, or our branch located at Amarillo College’s Washington Street campus.
Walk-ins are now welcome at any of the branches listed above or you can request an appointment here:
*For qualifying households.
**If you are filing as a married couple, both taxpayers need to be present.
Tax filing for Married Filing Separate, Out of State, Rental Properties or Self-Employment Income with expenses of more than $35,000 is not supported with VITA. Copies of Social Security cards, IDs, ITINs or previous tax returns will not be accepted.
