PIM Savvy's Free Tax Prep (VITA) Program

In partnership with the Washington State Department of Revenue and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), PIM Savvy provides FREE IN-PERSON and DROP-OFF TAX PREPARATION throughout King and Snohomish Counties in Washington State. We ensure taxpayers maximize their refunds by claiming all credits they are eligible for, including the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Washington State’s Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC).

Book early because appointments will fill up quickly!

VITA is an IRS-certified program that offers free tax prep to taxpayers who qualify. VITA is a trusted source for preparing tax returns. All VITA volunteers who prepare returns must take and pass tax law training that meets or exceeds IRS standards.

 

  • Appointment needed for in-person tax preparation. The client will wait while the return is prepared and submitted to the IRS.
  • No appointment needed for drop-off tax prep service. With drop-off, the intake and interview must be done in person but the return is prepared virtually. The client will be contacted via phone if the preparer has any questions. The client will bring their ID, SS# or ITIN, and tax documents to the VITA site, fill out the intake form, and complete the interview process. We then scan copies of the client’s tax forms. The client will need to sign the Virtual VITA Taxpayer Consent form in-person before leaving the VITA site. The taxpayer then comes back to the site for quality review and signing off on the completed tax return. The client has the option to do the quality review process via Zoom.

Have questions about the difference? Email vita@pimsavvy.com or call 206-565-2961, Option 4 or Option 2 (Spanish).

This year we have two VITA sites – Renton and Everett plus special events at libraries and community centers and other non-profit locations (in Seattle, Mukilteo and Kent). Use the calendar and table below to find your closest tax site at a time convenient for you.
