A trusted resource

We believe hard-working families shouldn’t have to pay to receive high-quality tax preparation. As a VITA program of the IRS, our volunteers must pass an exam each year. We know this is more than just a tax return, it’s a refund that can help families build a better future.

Tax Help Colorado sites have a 95 percent accuracy rate, compared to a 60 percent accuracy rate for all professional tax preparers.

Tim, four years of service
