Free Tax Preparation Services


Madison House, the independent volunteer center for students at the University of Virginia, has teamed up with Habitat for Humanity and the UVA Community Credit Union (together known as the Cville Tax Aid Coalition) to offer free tax preparation services for residents in Charlottesville and the surrounding counties.

This Charlottesville Tax Aid Coalition aims to help taxpayers who earn less than $62,000 annually save money on tax preparation fees and claim tax credits for which they are eligible, particularly the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. 

Formerly led by the United Way of Greater Charlottesville, Madison House has taken over leadership of the Cville Tax Aid Coalition. This year, Madison House recruited more than 190 volunteer tax preparers who will meet face-to-face with clients. In addition to in-person appointments, Madison House offers drop-off service and provides access to free online tax preparation software for those who want to do their own taxes.

The UVA Community Credit Union also offers in-person and drop-off services at several branch locations. Spanish-speaking services are available in person through Habitat for Humanity at the Southwood Community Center.
