This past tax season, 40 JVS volunteers helped over 575 people file their tax returns and improve their financial health. In total, we helped our clients file for $725,000 in tax refunds, including $225,000 in Earned Income Tax Credit. Over 50% of people who used the tax site also signed up for a financial health checkup with one of our financial empowerment coaches. Thank you to all of the volunteers who make our tax site possible every year and to our Financial Opportunity Center funders: Santander Bank, N.A., Capital One, TD Charitable Foundation, and United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley!
