Help SF State carry on the VITA tradition! We need some great volunteers for this upcoming tax season. Last year we received recognition from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and CPA firms.
Thanks to Moss Adams' generous donation, we now have more equipment to pursue our mission. Please help us continue to be the most successful and largest VITA site in the Bay Area, and earn valuable business experience as well!
What is VITA?
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA) is a national program that provides free tax preparation assistance to individuals that are of low income, elderly, limited in English proficiency, and disabled. Our mission is to provide tax assistance to individuals who cannot afford the services of a paid professional tax preparer.
