Free Tax Help for Nebraska Residents
The Tax Credit Alliance of Nebraska (TCAN) offers free tax preparation and support services across the state through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs.
Our Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-sponsored program is part of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Center on Children, Families, and the Law, and is staffed by IRS-certified volunteers trained each year on the latest tax laws.
We serve individuals and families with low-to-moderate income, people with disabilities, non-filing households with children, English language learners, students, and older adults. View our brochure!
