For help with issues related to Earned Income Tax Credit education and outreach and/or Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites in your area, please contact your local IRS-SPEC Territory Manager, listed below. The Territory Managers, or their staff, can help answer your questions and advise you on issues related to EITC outreach efforts, VITA site operations, training of volunteers, etc.
Some SPEC Territory offices cover more than one state. The Territory Manager for your state may be headquartered elsewhere, but he or she does supervise the program in your area. The Territory Manager's office can connect you to IRS staff, EITC outreach materials, VITA trainings or VITA site supervisors in your state, and help plan future efforts.
Please note that IRS Territory Manager assignments can also change. If you reach a different IRS staff person, simply tell them the nature of your inquiry. Normally you will be directed to the new Territory Manager or other appropriate staff person who works with the coalition or state in which you are interested. If you are unable to reach the IRS Territory at all, please contact John Wancheck at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (wancheck@cbpp.org, or 202-408-1080), who will find the correct contact person and update the list.
