HOW TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT    IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ

Appointments for 2023 will become available on the calendar below JANUARY 17 at 8AM.  If date box appears empty after January 17 on appointment dates, then no appointments are available.  However, check back periodically for possible openings due to cancellations or visit this IRS website link and enter your zip code to find other free VITA tax site nearby. 

All appointments (In-Person and Virtual) will not be displayed on the calendar all together – use the dropdown option in “Location” field to show appointment availability for each of these tax services. 

NEW FOR MARCH – IN-PERSON SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS ADDED! –  Additional in-person appointments for Saturdays only in March are now available.  To access these added appointments and have them display on the calendar below, select “Added Saturday Appointments” from the drop-down option from the “Services” field.   Make sure “Gracie’s Village” option is selected for the “Locations” field.

Upon successful booking of an appointment you will receive a confirmation email, please check your spam/junk folder if it does not appear in your inbox within 15-30 minutes.

If you did not receive a confirmation message, there may have been an error or required information not completed and your appointment may have not been booked.

Note:  Only one email can be used per client to make an appointment.  (Though the system may accept the same email for more than one appointment and sends two confirmation emails, only the last appointment made with the duplicate email is accepted and overrides the first appointment scheduled.)

If you need to make an appointment for more than one person who needs an additional tax return in your household, a different email must be used.  Couples do not need to have two appointments, two different family members in a household such as a parent and adult child filing separate returns, will need to have separate appointments.
