Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

OVERVIEW

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) provides free tax preparation assistance primarily for low-income individuals and families. VITA volunteers must complete training certification through the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) training program prior to participating. Beginning in the spring semester, students can volunteer as greeters, tax preparers, and quality reviewers in partnership with Experiment in Self-Reliance (ESR), a non-profit with the goal of reducing poverty in Winston-Salem, NC.
