Qualifying taxpayers are invited to receive free preparation and electronic filing of their 2019 federal and state income tax returns at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance clinic.
This IRS-sponsored program is available for low- and moderate-income taxpayers, and no appointments are needed.
Clinic hours are from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays through April 11. Clients will be helped on a first-come, first-served basis and they should arrive one hour before closing.
Sessions will not be on March 21, March 25 and March 28.
The VITA clinic is located in Room 1001 of Timothy J. Hyland Hall at 809 Starin Road in Whitewater. Parking is available across the street in lot 7 — also known as the Starin Road lot — and contains the visitor information and parking services building.
On Wednesdays before 6 p.m., stop at the visitor center and request a free parking pass for the tax clinic. Parking permits are not required on Saturdays. Clinic visitors should park in nonmetered parking spaces.
The VITA clinic is staffed by certified student preparers and supervised by faculty in the College of Business and Economics Department of Accounting.
“We have many longtime clients who return for assistance each spring,” accounting department lecturer and VITA program director Robert Meyers said in a news release. “The opportunity to apply training while working with real people is also an invaluable experience for our students.”
