The purpose of the Chatham Savannah Asset Development Coalition (CSADC) is to provide low-income to moderate residents of Savannah, GA and surrounding counties with free income tax preparation assistance through the use of IRS certified volunteers, working at easily accessible neighborhood based sites. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites operate under the guidelines and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service's at no charge. VITA sites are located in community agencies, churches, libraries, public assistance offices, and other public places. VITA sites generally operate from late January thru April 15th. Hours of operations are based on the sites discretions. VITA sites files returns electronically through an IRS supported software which makes it less likely to file an incomplete return and help avoid refund delays.
The efforts of the CSADC are comprised of community stakeholders that have agreed to the purpose of providing financial education and stability to enhance economic achievement throughout the community.
