UMBC VITA is now offering "Drop Off" tax prep!
Drop Off Tax Prep differs from our traditional services in that you'll only need to be at the tax prep site for about 20 minutes. The remainder of the tax prep process will take place after you leave. Once the return is fully prepared, we'll call you and review the results. When you are comfortable with the results and electronically sign giving us permission, we'll transmit your return to the IRS and State.
All steps of the process are performed by IRS certified volunteers.
You'll need to be eligible for VITA services including a household income of $69,000 or less. Additional restrictions are on this web page.
Drop Off Tax Prep is at a different location than our traditional prep service and is only on Friday afternoons, 3-5pm. The Drop Off location is 900 Walker Ave, Catonsville. You'll see us in the lobby when you enter the main door of the building.
In order for this process to be efficient, it is crucial that you bring your photo ID, social security cards for everyone on the tax return, all of your tax documents and information, and that you have an email address and phone number. You'll need to be reachable the following Friday afternoon so we can review the return by phone and get your electronic signature.
If you are filing Married Filing Joint with a spouse, we'll need a photo ID and social security card for the spouse as well as a separate email address for them to electronically sign.
If you have questions, email vita@umbc.edu. If you prefer to call, our number is 443-612-4829. Leave a voicemail and a volunteer will return your call within two business days.
