Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program

Welcome!

ONLY TWO NIGHTS LEFT!  THURSDAY, APRIL 5TH AND MONDAY, APRIL 9TH!  CLAIM YOUR SPOT NOW!

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at the University of Connecticut provides free personalized tax counseling and preparation the UConn Community.  We proudly serve:

  • The International Community (Resident and Non-Resident Aliens)
  • The Military Community (all veterans and active duty military personnel and their families, regardless of income level)
  • All taxpayers with gross income less than $54,000 per year
  • All other taxpayers (with returns within the scope of our program) through our Facilitated Self Assistance option (laptop access provided)

Our volunteers are junior and senior accounting majors and are certified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to prepare simple Federal and Connecticut state income tax returns. We cannot prepare returns for taxpayers who have income outside of the State of Connecticut. We are trained to provide the highest quality service and to be sensitive to the needs of our constituents.
