STAN provides free tax preparation assistance by IRS-certified volunteers through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, while operating as an independent nonprofit. Our services are always free, but we do not provide legal or financial advice, and taxpayers remain responsible for the accuracy of their returns. We can only assist with returns that fall within our program guidelines; certain complex situations (such as rental income, business losses, or multi-state filings) may be outside our scope. In those cases, we’ll gladly connect you with trusted resources that can help.
