Testimonials
It is my pleasure to advise you on my recent experience of having my taxes done remotely by VITA. From start to finish, VITA streamlines the process as if you are sitting in front of them. Their knowledge and expertise assures you the best possible return, and more importantly, you feel confident that it was done by a tax professional. I am extremely grateful for your tax service and especially grateful for these services.
Elaine in Lower Fairfield County, CT
Getting relief funds quickly and efficiently into the hands of Connecticut residents who need it the most is at the core of the mission of 4-CT’s pandemic response. The Virtual VITA project is a perfect embodiment of that. We are incredibly proud of the impact that this project has had during the past six months and believe that the Virtual VITA platform will continue to increase access to tax preparation services and benefits for under-served populations well beyond the pandemic.

SimplifyCT was so helpful to get the things I need. Filing my taxes for free stopped me from living from paycheck to check. It helped alleviate the stress of having to budget so carefully.

SimplifyCT’s free tax service helped me a lot because I wasn’t working at the time. The refund and credits made buying food and paying bills way easier. I actually recommend it! I have been using it for 3 years and they always answer all my questions.
