Join the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for an informative webinar focused on the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program as the tax season approaches. An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) representative will explain how VITA provides free tax return preparation for low- and moderate-income individuals. Additionally, an FDIC examiner will discuss how banks supporting VITA sites can receive positive consideration under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Webinar attendees will also hear from bankers and the leader of a financial empowerment center about successful VITA partnerships. The webinar presents a valuable opportunity for Indiana bankers to explore potential VITA partnerships.
