VITA – Free Tax Preparation (Albuquerque / NM)

About This Program

Tax Help New Mexico provides free IRS-certified tax preparation through VITA sites across Albuquerque and Bernalillo County for households earning $67,000 or less. Trained volunteers help filers claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit, and other credits that can result in thousands of dollars in refunds. These refund dollars are frequently used for home repairs and improvements.

Free service; EITC alone can yield $1,000–$7,800 depending on family size and income, effectively freeing up funds for home improvement.
