Virtual VITA

Who Can Use This Service?

You must have internet access and an email or text number that you monitor regularly. A smart phone with internet access works best.  Only Federal and NC State returns will be prepared. Some tax situations cannot be handled by our VITA Volunteers. Review this Eligibility Checklist to ensure we can prepare your taxes.

How Does It Work?  

We have partnered with GetYourRefund.Org to provide a safe and convenient way for you to send us your tax information electronically.  It’s fast and easy!  If you can post a picture to Facebook, you can use this service.

  • Use the Get Started Button below and follow the instructions to answer tax questions, snap photos of your tax documents, and upload them with the click of a button.
  • We'll review your documents and call you to verify we have everything needed before beginning your return.
  • You’ll receive an electronic copy of the return and review the results with us over the phone. 
  • You’ll electronically sign a form authorizing us to e-file the return.
  • Your return can be accessed through your account until December and you can request a paper copy if needed.
