Language support is available for appointments upon request. Property tax appointment scheduling will begin mid-March 2026. 1. Taxpayer calls United Way 2-1-1 or visits https://vitataxprep.as.me/schedule.php to schedule an appointment (45 minute slot). Individuals with more than 1 year of taxes to be filed or individuals coming with a family member they are not filing jointly will need to schedule 2 appointments. All appointments are expected to take approximately 1-2 hours, but can last up to 3hrs. 2. Upon arrival to appointment, taxpayer must verify identification (have a photo ID and/or Social Security card ready) and will then give their paperwork to the tax preparer. Taxpayer must complete an intake packet before their appointment. If they do not complete the intake packet before their appointment, they must arrive at least 15 minutes before their scheduled appointment and may have to complete it in their car or outside as there are no waiting areas available at some sites.
