General Info

Community Tax Aid, Inc ( CTA ) was founded in 1987 by a group of tax professionals and concerned citizens who recognized a growing need for free tax preparation and representation services for low-income taxpayers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Due to the increased complexity of the tax system, these individuals sought change within their community, especially among taxpayers with limited education or English ability. CTA believes that all taxpayers deserve the opportunity to file accurate, timely tax returns. To this end, CTA provides comprehensive, cost-effective, professional income tax assistance to low-income members of our community all without charge.
