Free Tax Preparation Appointments NOW OPEN!
Jackson County United Way is now scheduling tax preparation appointments for the 2025 Tax Year.

To ensure you receive the appointment day and time you prefer, the fastest and most reliable way to secure your preferred date and time is to schedule online using the links provided on this page. If you prefer to call, please leave a detailed message on the VITA voicemail—due to high call volumes, all messages will be returned within 24 business hours. We will be unable to return calls without a voicemail left.
Updated Tax Information for the 2025 Tax Year- Please Note
The IRS is changing how Federal tax refunds are paid. Paper refund checks are being phased out, and most refunds will now be sent directly to a bank account.
To avoid delays, please bring your bank routing number and account number with you when you have your taxes prepared. This allows the IRS to deposit any Federal refund directly into your account.
If you do not currently have a bank account, assistance is available to help you find a local bank or credit union.
The VITA program proudly serves all of Jackson County, with convenient locations in Brownstown, Crothersville, Medora, and Seymour.
Please Note: Tax Prep locations do not have tax information or information on appointments. Please contact the Jackson County United Way directly by emailing stephanie@jacsy.org.
