Last week, the Internal Revenue Service began accepting applications for the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) grant programs, which will allow some organizations to apply for annual funding for up to three years. Applications will be accepted June 1, 2010, through July 9, 2010. Previous grant recipients will have the option to apply for up to three years of annual funding, which would reduce the amount of paperwork they must complete over a three-year period. This annual funding will also help recipients with budget planning.
For 2010, the IRS awarded $6.1 million to 24 TCE grantees and $7.44 million to 147 VITA grantees. By about mid-year, the two grant programs had filed more than 2.1 million returns at almost 9,000 sites nationwide.
