In 1965, local officials
created TEAM, Inc. to combat poverty in the region and to help low-income
families increase their self-sufficiency. Today, TEAM manages over
a dozen programs that seek to improve the lives of economically
vulnerable families. With its central office in Derby, the agency
is an integral part of the regional social safety net. TEAM provides
both direct service and referrals to other area agencies. A private,
non-profit corporation, TEAM gives financial assistance, training,
and supportive services to over 4,000 families in the region each
year. Customers generally remain the poor, but the client base also
includes parents, day care home providers, and frail elderly. TEAM,
Inc. is one of twelve Community Action Agencies in Connecticut and
one of about 1,000 nationwide.

TEAM is sponsoring the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program so that more eligible people receive tax refunds and bring more dollars to families and into our community.
This is a FREE service. Our IRS certified and trained staff can prepare your state and federal income tax returns, file them electronically and get your refund at no cost to you.
The Earned Income Tax Credit (or EITC) is a credit for people who do not earn high incomes. EITC can reduce your taxes and result in a refund. Meaning, workers keep more of what they earn.
