SaveUSA ACCOUNT

IMPORTANT: The limited-time opportunity for new participants to open New York City's SaveUSA account has ended for 2013.

Attention: Current SaveUSA Account Holders 

  • If you opened a SaveUSA account in 2011 or 2012, you can participate in the program again. File your taxes by April 15 and make a direct deposit from your 2013 refund. You will receive a match only on the new deposit which you must save for one year. Other program rules apply.
  • If your account has been closed for some reason, you can reopen your account or open a new one.
 

 

New York City’s SaveUSA program offers an incentive to save at tax time. At select Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites throughout the City, you may have the opportunity to open a SaveUSA account when you file your taxes. Save at least $200 of your refund for a year and earn 50 cents for every $1 you save. Save $1,000 for the maximum $500 match. 
 
Participants in the SaveUSA program are selected at random, so anyone interested has the same chance to open the account while funds last.

To qualify for the SaveUSA program, you must:
  • Earn $50,000 or less if you have children 
  • Earn $18,000 or less if you do not have children
  • Have a minimum refund of $200 and agree to save at least $200 in the account
  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Provide two forms of identification and proof of address in addition to your tax documents
  • Open the account at the time you file your taxes if you are assigned to a SaveUSA account
