Qualifying New Yorkers who need assistance to file an amended tax return or who received an extension to file can visit free assistance sites that are part of the New York City Earned Income Tax Credit Coalition. At Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites, certified volunteers are trained to prepare basic federal and state tax returns and help filers claim credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and New York City Child Care Tax Credit.

The Internal Revenue Service operates several year-round Taxpayer Assistance Centers citywide. IRS sites can assist eligible filers with their federal returns only.

For guidance on whether your income and number of dependents qualify you for assistance at a particular site, please review the section marked Income Limits included in the information for each site. Hours during which a site is open may change. Sites where languages other than English are spoken are noted in site descriptions. Transit information is provided for your convenience. Please check service advisories in subway stations or visit the MTA Web site for updates that may impact your travel.
