Palm Beach VITA Sites

The Taxes Filed Free Initiative provides free, confidential, and secure preparation and e-filing of tax returns to qualified taxpayers. To qualify, the taxpayer’s income must have been $78,000 or less in Palm Beach County and $67,000 or less in the Treasure Coast Counties in 2025.

Taxpayers may be eligible for up to $8,046 in Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC).

Taxes Filed Free gives you two options to choose from to e-file your tax return. All options are supported by IRS-Certified Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) volunteers. All VITA sites accommodate individuals with a disability. The VITA sites are grouped by region of the county and listed alphabetically by city.

Filed For You – Face-to-face tax preparation provided at several county VITA sites, no appointment required. For more information and/or to find a nearest location visit www.TaxesFiledFree.org or call 211.

Filed Yourself – Visit www.MyFreeTaxes.com and file your own tax return. It’s simple, fast, and secure. If you have a tax or software related question, you can submit a question by email, webchat, or call the helpline for support.
