Understanding Our Program Guidelines

Thank you for completing this form. Based on the answers you selected above, your tax situation includes items that our UConn VITA program is not permitted to handle under IRS rules. Please carefully review your answers before continuing to make sure they are correct. If you selected something by mistake, you may go back and change it. However, if you do, in fact, have a situation like those listed above, we are legally not allowed to prepare your tax return. It is important to understand that the information reported on your tax return is your responsibility. If a required item applies to you but is not reported, the tax return would be incorrect. We will not knowingly prepare or file an incorrect return. If we prepare a return based on incomplete or inaccurate information provided, you will be responsible for any taxes owed, penalties, or other consequences the IRS imposes. Thank you for your understanding and for carefully reviewing your information before proceeding.

State Income

In 2025, did you earn taxable income in any U.S. state other than the State of Connecticut?*

Yes

Is the other state, in which you earned income, a state without an income tax? Those are Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.*

Yes

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, because you have income from an income-taxing state other than the state of Connecticut, your state tax return is "out of scope" for UConn's VITA program. We can complete and file your federal tax return, but you will need to use an alternate method to complete your state tax returns. We will give you guidance for doing so. Please acknowledge this limitation, below.*

I understand that UConn VITA can only prepare my Federal tax return. I understand that I will need to find an alternate method to complete and file my state tax returns. I wish to continue this application, acknowledging that UConn VITA will only complete my Federal tax return.

I understand that UConn VITA can only prepare my Federal tax return. I wish to discontinue this application for UConn VITA services.

State of Residency

Please note that the "State Residency" is different from residency for federal filing purposes. In this section, we are simply trying to determine the state in which you live while in the U.S., regardless of your country of citizenship.

Indicate which of the following applies to you ("CT" is the abbreviation for Connecticut).

NOTE: "183 days" represents approximately 6 months. If you began living in CT on or prior to July 1, 2025, you lived here for more than 183 days.

My permanent residence is outside of the U.S., however I lived in CT for more than 183 days in 2025.

I moved to CT from another state or country on or subsequent to July 2, 2025.

My permanent residence was in CT for all of 2025, either on/near campus or in my family home.

My permanent residence is outside of CT, however I lived a total of more than 183 days in CT during the tax year.

My permanent residence is outside of CT, and I did not live in CT for 183 days or more.

The following question will determine whether you are required to file a CT tax return. Please select all that apply to you.*

I had CT income tax withheld from my wages (this is true if there is a number in box 17 of your Form W-2).

I meet the Gross Income Test (see below) and had income earned in CT.

I did not have CT income tax withheld from my wages, nor do I meet the Gross Income Test.

You meet the Gross Income Test if your gross income* for the 2025 taxable year is greater than: $15,000 as a single taxpayer; $12,000 as taxpayer married filing separately; $19,000 as a head of household filer; or $24,000 as a couple married filing jointly or a taxpayer filing as a qualifying surviving spouse. *Gross income includes but is not limited to: Wages Interest, dividends or capital gains; Alimony; Retirement income; Scholarship/Fellowship income, prizes, and awards; Unemployment compensation; Social Security benefits; and Disability benefits. PLEASE NOTE: income of nonresident aliens, excluded by treaty, should NOT be subtracted from this calculation.

If you have an electronic copy of your 2024 State of Connecticut tax return, please upload it here. It is quite useful for us to have for reference when preparing for your appointment. It will save you time during your appointment when we are preparing your 2024 tax return.
