Curry College students offer volunteer tax assistance to help local taxpayers file annual tax returns
Curry’s accounting students have been meeting with local taxpayers every week to file their 2022 tax returns through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program led by the IRS. According to their website, Curry College has been helping local community members with the free tax service since 2019.
The IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs offer free basic tax return preparation to qualified individuals.
The VITA program has operated for over 50 years. VITA sites offer free tax help to people who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns, including:
- People who generally make $58,000 or less
- Persons with disabilities; and
- Limited English-speaking taxpayers
- In addition to VITA, the TCE program offers free tax help, particularly for those who are 60 years of age and older, specializing in questions about pensions and retirement-related issues unique to seniors.
