For the past 20 years, the Cherokee Nation has partnered with the IRS to provide free tax preparation services to individuals and families. This year, if your household income is $69,000 or less, you are eligible for these services. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites will be available from February 2 through April 15, 2026. To schedule your appointment, please call Commerce Services at 918-453-5536 beginning January 12, 2026.
To find VITA sites in your area, you can visit the IRS VITA locator tool at Site Locator or call your local VITA site directly for more information. You can also download the VITA flyer below to view all Cherokee Nation VITA sites.
If you are going to be late or need to reschedule your tax appointment, please call us at 918-453-5536 and press 1 for VITA. A scheduling assistant would be happy to assist you.

We encourage you to keep calling. The Commerce Department is handling all calls as quickly as possible, but during tax season the lines do get congested. We apologize for any inconvenience but look forward to serving you.
