ROCKDALE COUNTY, GA – Rockdale County residents can receive free basic tax preparation assistance during the 2026 tax filing season through the IRS’ Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
Post 1 Commissioner Tuwanya Smith is hosting a VITA site that will be managed by The Accounting Cure, LLC, a local CPA firm, in partnership with The Tax Cure and Relief Foundation, Inc. and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Sigma Eta Lambda Chapter.
The program will operate at Johnson Park in Conyers from January 31 through April 16, 2026, offering services on Thursdays from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The initiative is designed to support eligible individuals and families by providing free basic federal and state tax return preparation. Services are delivered by trained IRS-certified volunteer tax preparers who help taxpayers file accurate returns and identify eligible credits and refunds at no cost.
“This program helps ensure Rockdale County residents have access to reliable and trustworthy tax assistance during tax season,” said Commissioner Tuwanya Smith. “We are grateful for our partnership with The Accounting Cure LLC, The Tax Cure and Relief Foundation Inc., and the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., in making these services available to the community.”
The VITA program primarily serves low- to moderate-income households, people who generally make $69,000 or less, individuals with disabilities, limited English-speaking taxpayers, and families who may not otherwise have access to professional tax preparation services. Appointments and eligibility requirements may apply.
Residents planning to participate are encouraged to bring all required tax documents, including photo identification, Social Security cards or ITIN letters, and tax forms such as W-2s and 1099s.
