Second of Three Free Webinars –

Provide Tax Preparation Assistance through VITA Programs
This series is exclusively for participating REAL Solutions® credit unions and leagues.

Voluntary Tax Assistance Programs (VITA)
with Nancy Pierce, Field Coach – REAL Solutions®

Did you know…That VITA programs save low-wage working families millions of dollars in tax preparation fees each year?

Did you know…Consumers spend millions of dollars each year to obtain expensive refund anticipation loans?

Furthermore…Credit unions can provide the right tax assistance through their own VITA programs or by partnering with other community organizations – and credit unions can provide these consumers/members with the right savings programs, steer members away from expensive refund anticipation loans and provide information to help them obtain a better economic future.
