Do I Qualify for Free Tax Help?
The Nevada Free Taxes Coalition (NFTC) offers 100% free, IRS‑certified, confidential tax preparation through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. We serve individuals and families in Las Vegas and Clark County who meet certain income and tax‑situation guidelines.
Not sure if you qualify? Use this page as a simple guide. If you’re still unsure, come anyway — we’ll screen you at intake and point you in the right direction.
Filers with investment income under $12,200 may still qualify.

• Rental properties with depreciation or complex expenses
• Complex business returns (employees, inventory, corporations, partnerships)
