Event Details

Brooklyn College Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is an IRS-sponsored program that was established in 1969. VITA is a free tax-preparation program that is offered to low- to moderate-income persons (generally $35,000 and below for individuals, and $75,000 and below for families), persons with disabilities, and elderly members of the community who most need tax assistance and cannot afford the services of a paid preparer.

 

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) seeks to fulfill the needs of the surrounding community. Our mission is threefold:

• For our clients, we aim to prepare accurate returns with the utmost courtesy and professionalism.
• For our interns, we aim to:
  • provide leadership, training, and real-world experience; and
  • present the importance of an internship and giving back to the community.
• For the college, we aim to present Brooklyn College as a landmark for academic excellence and service to the community.
