South Bend-based Goodwill Industries of Michiana will offer free tax preparation services to qualified individuals in 2025.
The services are provided through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. The volunteer-driven program provides free tax assistance from certified tax preparers to individuals and families.
Goodwill is offering the program through April 15, 2025. It is available to U.S. citizens or resident aliens. Individuals or families with a household annual income of $64,000 or less may qualify for the free federal program.
“We encourage those who meet the eligibility requirements to take advantage of this free service to maximize their tax returns and credits,” said Debie Coble, Goodwill president and CEO, in a press release. “It helps people in our community save time and use their earnings for other expenses, such as childcare, food, transportation or other needs.”
Services will be provided at seven locations across South Bend and Elkhart. A limited number of appointments are available. Learn more here.
Coble added that the program reflects Goodwill’s mission to empower individuals to live their most abundant lives. Goodwill Industries of Michiana serves 16 Indiana counties. It operates more than 24 retail locations, with 4 high schools for adults, a maternal-child health program and workforce development programs.
