Provide Advice on Financial Service Law and Our Responsibilities

Help people connect with free tax help to receive money via the EITC/Child Tax Credit

Posted June 4, 2021

Work & Deliverables

Our GetYourRefund Program aims to digitally connect taxpayers with VITA services in order to get more cash into the pockets of everyday people. Our focus is on individuals eligible for the EITC who need the funds the most, especially in the wake of a pandemic. We are looking to expand our program, including looking to e-file returns directly with the IRS as an ERO and Software Developer. We’d appreciate a broader discussion about the liability and privacy and legal requirements of e-filing vs. using VITA services.
