File Your Taxes for Free

The Newport News Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office is excited to announce that this year we’ve partnered with the Internal Revenue Service to provide FREE resources for Virginia Income Tax Assistance (VITA) through Free File Partners.  Newport News taxpayers that meet eligibility criteria can prepare their own federal tax return and at least one state return for FREE. 

These resources provide a great way to stay safe and save on tax preparation fees as we continue to combat this pandemic.  Each partner provides support directly to taxpayers that may require additional assistance.  Free File Partners provide tax software through TaxAct, Intuit-TurboTax, or OnLine Taxes (OLT). 

The eligibility requirements for each partner are listed below. Please select the best option for you. Please note that each Free File partner sets taxpayer eligibility requirements for its program.
