The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program is a program of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and offered to communities across the United States in thousands of sites each year. Since 2004 Life Transforming Ministries (LTM) has been certified by the IRS within their VITA program and has been operating sites in Chester County. Our role is to recruit and help train volunteers, who must pass an IRS examination in order to complete tax returns. They are not paid and serve customers to demonstrate their care for the community. We then organize sites where returns are prepared by volunteers using IRS approved tax preparation software provided at no cost to our organization.  http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Free-Tax-Return-Preparation-for-You-by-Volunteers
