For all refugees, asylum seekers, and other low income families!

The Indiana University IRS VITA program offers free tax preparation services for qualifying low-income taxpayers during the spring semester. Each year, it is our privilege to help hundreds of low-income Bloomington residents and students file federal and state tax returns.

VITA services will be available at Maurer School of Law Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Room 121 of the Law School (211 South Indiana Avenue) between January 27 and March 25

These services are 100 percent free of charge. If you are a U.S. resident with income of $67,000 or less, we can help you.

The Bloomington Refugee Support Network is a local, all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit that assists newly arriving families. These families who have fled violence in their home countries must adjust to life in our community, reacquire job skills, address urgent medical, dental and trauma concerns, raise their children and practice their faith in safety.  They are asylum seekers or refugees who follow our immigration laws, strive to succeed and be a vital part of our community.

Over the past several years, we have helped over 100 families from China, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Venezuela, Colombia, Nicaragua, Mexico, Ukraine, Sudan and Honduras.
