The Town of Manchester will have two VITA sites to help residents this tax season. One VITA site will be at the Manchester Senior Center. This site will open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting January 31st. A second VITA site will be at the Manchester Community Center at 18 Main Street. This VITA site will be open Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., starting February 7th. Tax assistance at VITA sites is available for simple income tax returns only for families and individuals making no more than $69,000 a year. Assistance is available by appointment only.
