The Cal State Fullerton student-run chapter of Volunteer Income Tax Assistance offers income tax return preparation and filing assistance to low-income families and individuals now through April 14.
The campus group partners with Orange County United Way to offer VITA, a free program sponsored by the IRS, providing free assistance in preparing simple tax returns for low- to moderate-income families earning $60,000 per household or less. Volunteers — mostly students, along with faculty members and alumni — are trained and certified by the IRS, and the group is advised by Jonathan Durrant, assistant professor of accounting.
