Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is a FREE, confidential tax preparation service available by appointment for eligible individuals and families on low- and moderate-income. Our IRS-certified volunteers prepare and file basic federal tax returns (including Form 1040). VITA can help you file back taxes from 2022 to the present, assist with amended returns, and may be able to support earlier tax years when requested by the IRS. Schedule your appointment today!

Celebrating Community Action

Celebrate 60 years of CAC’s impact with our commemorative book, Helping People. Changing Lives., written by Knoxville historian Jack Neely. With a recommended $15 donation, you can pick up your copy and explore six decades of community action in Knoxville and Knox County.
