Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to adhere to social distancing recommendations, United Way of Addison County will not be available to provide one-on-one tax support in 2021 as we have in the past. We strongly encourage you to use the secure MyFreeTaxes website for filing, and to utilize the MyFreeTaxes Helpline with any filing questions: 1-866-698-9435 (open 10am-10pm EST daily during tax season). Filers who prefer more support can connect to virtual VITA programs to have their return prepared for them by an IRS-certified specialist.
