Free Tax Prep Coalition:

North Hills Community Outreach serves individuals and families experiencing crisis, hardship and poverty in northern Allegheny County, providing support and resources to help them navigate challenges and improve their quality of life.

United Way funding supported North Hills Community Outreach’s participation in the Free Tax Prep Coalition at multiple tax sites in 2025. By providing accessible, no-cost tax assistance, the program helps individuals and families claim eligible credits, keep more of their hard-earned money in their pockets and improve their financial stability.  The Free Tax Prep Coalition is part of the IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which engages volunteers to provide free tax preparation services nationwide.

Free Tax Prep Coalition:

North Hills Community Outreach offers free tax preparation through its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which assists individuals and families in filing accurate tax returns and claiming all credits for which they are eligible. This support helps community members maximize their refunds and maintain financial stability.

This grant helps fund North Hills Community Outreach’s tax assistance programs, supporting two fixed tax sites and four mobile tax clinics in 2024. These services allow residents in Sharpsburg, Hampton and the Gibsonia/West Deer communities of Allegheny County to access free, accurate tax preparation and claim all tax credits for which they qualify.
