During the tax season we operate a VITA tax site on Sundays as part of Earn It! Keep It! Save It! (www.earnitkeepitsaveit.org) to provide free assistance with income tax preparation. Two Saturdays during the tax season we have “Super Saturday” tax events at Pickleweed Park Community Center.

These events are done in collaboration with Prosperity Partners, AARP, IRS, and Legal Aid of Marin and provide free assistance with preparing tax returns, applying for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and legal consultations.

How do I sign up for the Tax returns and ITIN preparation?

What is the ITIN?

Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is a nine-digit number, similar in format to the SSN. It always begins with the number 9. ITINs are issued only to people who do not have, and are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Remember: ITIN is for tax purposes only. It does not authorize work and cannot be used as an identification number or for any purpose outside the tax system.
