Atlanta is kicking off a program to help local families claim the Earned Income Tax Credit. The city says millions of dollars go unclaimed by local families every year. Now, eligible citizens can obtain the credit with free tax preparation services at local Volunteer Income Tax Centers. Those centers are located at the Atlanta Workforce Development Agency, Atlanta Community Food Bank, Center for Working Families, Rosel Fann Recreation Center, Thomasville Recreation Center, Central Fulton Public Library, Elizabeth Baptist Church, Fort McPherson, Mt. Ephraim Baptist Church, Saint Paul AME Church, Saint Philip AME Church and the Sullivan Center.
