The Center for Community Resources (CCR) and Slippery Rock University have partnered with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program for the past five years. Client participation in the program has grown steadily each year. This paper discusses VITA in Butler County and the growth of the program. The authors specifically look at the economic impact of VITA’s participation, especially with respect to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Care Tax Credit. The paper ends with a recommendation on the continued expansion of the VITA program in Butler County and estimates the increased economic impact of an additional 5% increase in the number of returns claiming the EITC and Child Care Tax Credit from money “left on the table†by filers that do not take advantage of these tax credits.
