United Way Helps South MS Families Save $5 Million Free Income Tax Assistance Program
This tax season, United Way of South Mississippi (UWSM) helped return over $5 million dollars to South Mississippi families in tax refunds and related fees through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program. UWSM worked with local nonprofit partners to train and coordinate volunteers, who provided free tax help for households earning less than $50,000. In addition to free tax return preparation assistance, volunteers helped families understand and apply for applicable tax credits.
