CSUN was the first university to institute the federal VITA program in1971 and has prepared more than 15,000 state and federal tax returns, saving the community approximately $650,000.
More than 300 CSUN students have undertaken an intensive training program to deal with common tax problems and will work along side VITA supervisors who have been updated on new tax laws. In addition, IRS agents will serve as advisors at some centers and review tax forms before they are returned to taxpayers.
Taxpayers should bring the tax booklet they receive in the mail, W-2 forms, interest and dividend statements, receipts and records for deductions, a voided check for electronic filing and a copy of last year's tax returns.
Special accommodations will be made for senior citizens, non-English speaking and handicapped individuals. Participants should arrive early to ensure assistance as no appointments can be made.
The VITA program will be available January through March in 18 different locations throughout the Valley, with afternoon and evening times of operation.
