In person tax services are available at several sites throughout Tulare County (see list of locations with dates and times below). Tax documents can also be dropped off at one of our many VITA locations. Taxes will be prepared on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers will be informed about the filing process and contacted over the phone to review, schedule a pickup, and receive authorization to e-file. Customers may download the required documents checklist and intake forms at www.cset.org/vita. Customers can also complete their own taxes at home by visiting www.myfreetaxes.com.
About Earned Income Tax Credits
The amount of tax credits and cash back refund depends on household income and family size. Households earning less than $30,950 may be eligible for CalEITC up to $3,644 for tax year 2024. Workers filing state taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and current and former foster youth may also be eligible for CalEITC and the Young Child Tax Credit (YCTC).
Due to high call volumes, CSET will only answer questions about individual tax issues in person at tax sites. For more information on site locations and required documents please visit www.cset.org/vita or call (559) 741-4640.
