IRS sponsors trained Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) volunteers and trained tax counseling for the elderly (TCE) at various sites. VITA volunteers prepare basic income tax returns for individuals who have low to moderate income, disabilities, or who do not speak English; TCE sites assist elderly and low-income taxpayers.
