Nevada Free Taxes Coalition
About Nevada Free Taxes Coalition
Nevada Free Taxes Coalition gives low- and moderate-income Nevadans free income tax preparation and financial education, with IRS-certified volunteers doing the work. It serves people through in-person, virtual, and drop-off VITA appointments, which means taxpayers can get help in the format that fits their life. For families trying to claim credits, maximize refunds, and get past the usual filing costs, that matters. The coalition has already helped provide more than $25 million in tax refunds and prepared and filed over 4,500 personal income tax returns. That is the kind of practical support that can ease a hard season and leave people with a little more breathing room.
What sets Nevada Free Taxes Coalition apart is how many ways it makes free filing accessible. People can meet in person, go virtual through GetYourRefund.org, or use drop-off service, all with IRS-certified volunteer support and quality review. It also pairs tax help with financial education and volunteer training across Southern Nevada sites.
