Tacos and Taxes
We’re excited to announce the return of our Tacos & Taxes Event! This year, we’re partnering with Golden State Opportunity, and the College of the Canyons (COC) VITA Program to provide FREE tax preparation services to eligible individuals and families.
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program offers free tax help to individuals who:
- Have a gross income of $67,000 or less
- Have filing statuses of Single, Head of Household, or Married Filing Jointly
Date: March 29, 2025
Time: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. (last appointment is at 3 p.m.)
Location: 26455 Rockwell Canyon Rd, Santa Clarita, CA 91355
(College of the Canyons – Hasley Hall Room 233 )
Parking: Parking lot 5
Please note: Due to VITA program criteria, we cannot serve individuals in the following situations:
- Married Filing Separately
- Cash earners reporting a business loss (more expenses than income)
- Cash earners reporting more than $25,000 in expenses
* If you’re unsure whether you qualify, sign up anyway! A tax preparer will contact you to answer your questions.
Appointments are strongly encouraged. While we will accept walk-ins as space permits, we cannot guarantee availability for walk-ins.
Upon sign up, a member of the tax preparation team will reach out to you to schedule an appointment – as long as they remain available. Please provide a reliable phone number and email when signing up.
Appointments will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.
