Durham, NC - Employees who earn less than $27,075 for a one-member household or less than $64,475 for a family of five can get free tax preparation services through Duke Law School's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA).

Volunteers will take appointments at the Duke University Federal Credit Union in Erwin Square Plaza, 2200 West Main St., between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on these Fridays: Jan. 29, Feb. 5, 12, 26; March 19, 26; and April 2, 9.

To make an appointment, call (919) 684-6704.

VITA will also host volunteer sessions by appointment at El Centro Hispano in Durham on certain Saturdays in February, March and April.

VITA is one of Duke Law's oldest pro bono programs. In 2008, it completed more than 200 returns with more than $330,000 in refunds and more than $140,000 in tax credits.
