It’s Tax Time at CCAP

CCAP’s VITA Preparation Assistance Program is a free Tax Assistance service for low-income workers.

CCAP serves as a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site from January 27th through April 15th. We provide FREE tax preparation for individuals and families earning less than $60,000.

Last year, CCAP’s VITA program filed over 1000 federal tax returns, helping Rhode Island families receive $2 million in refunds without any cost. Our volunteers are trained and certified by the IRS and will help you file your federal and state income taxes. IRS e-file is the most accurate, safest, and fastest way to file your tax return. You can get your refund in as little as 10 days.

CCAP’s tax preparation services are offered at our Cranston location: 311 Doric Avenue, Cranston, RI (lower level). Call us today for an appointment, 401-467-7013.
