Building Civic Engagement
Through Financial Education

April 17, 2026

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program provides free tax preparation services to low-to-moderate income individuals and families.

The 2025 Tax Season has closed!  A huge thank you to all the volunteers who prepared tax returns and to everyone who came in to have their taxes prepared by us.

Masters of Coin partners with the IRS to support VITA sites within the Scottsdale Corridor.
We filed over 2300 tax returns bringing $1.5M in refunds back to the community in Tax Year 2024.

Friends of WhoFish.Org

We are a member of the Central AZ VITA Network. CAVN is a network of non-profit organizations and municipalities who offer VITA services.

Who We Serve

LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS

Through our VITA program, we help you file your personal tax return if your income is less than $67,000.

SENIORS

We’ll help you file a tax return even if you are not required to file. This may help you become eligible for property tax freezes, property tax credits, and protect your identity from someone falsely filing a return in your name.

DISABLED and ESL TAXPAYERS

We help disabled and English as a second language folks with their returns. We can help you obtain or renew an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) if you don’t have a social security number.

It was a pleasure to participate as a VITA volunteer!  Originally I thought it was a great opportunity to give back to the community. However through the tax preparation volunteer works, I realized that by “giving”, I am actually “taking” because of the satisfaction helping others. Especially helping the people who work really hard to support themselves.
