Online Upload tool (no need to come in)!
We know it can be difficult to visit our in-person VITA site if you don’t live in Merced.
Get Your Refund is a free virtual service supported by the IRS and the U.S. Department of Treasury that helps low-income households across the US receive high-quality tax services from the convenience of your home.
All you need to do is follow our direct link to Get Your Refund, create an account, upload all your tax documents, and once you do, one of our tax preparers will begin working on your return!
**Remember to use our direct link if you want your taxes prepared by your local VITA site! Not using our direct link allows any VITA site in the country to prepare your taxes!
