April is just around the corner, but there is no need to get stressed about your taxes! Klein ISD Career and Technical Education (CTE) students in the Accounting & Financial Services Program have been trained and certified as tax preparers through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
The VITA program has operated for over 50 years. Free tax help is available for individuals with an income of $69,000 or less, persons with disabilities, and Limited English-speaking taxpayers.
Two high school campus locations are open for services: Klein Oak High School at 22603 Northcrest Drive and Klein Cain High School at 10201 Spring Cypress Road. Service dates and times are located below. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can email for an appointment at your desired location:

*VITA/TCE services are not only free, but they are also a reliable and trusted source for preparing tax returns. All VITA/TCE volunteers who prepare returns must take and pass tax law training that meets or exceeds IRS standards. This training includes maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of all taxpayer information. In addition to requiring volunteers to certify their knowledge of the tax laws, the IRS requires a quality review check for every return prepared at a VITA/TCE site before filing. Each filing season, tens of thousands of dedicated VITA/TCE volunteers prepare millions of federal and state returns. They also assist taxpayers with the preparation of thousands of Facilitated Self-Assistance returns.
