Serving the public since 1970, CSUN VITA Clinic is a cost-free income tax assistance service to low-income residents in the San Fernando Valley and beyond. Our goal is to provide outstanding free tax preparation service to low-income taxpayers in our community and to provide our students with a quality experiential learning experience in the field of taxation.
CSUN VITA Clinic provides cost-free income tax assistance to low-income residents.
The CSUN VITA Clinic was ranked as the largest serving free tax preparation clinic in California in 2021 and the largest academic institution nationally offering free tax preparation services. With the help of over 220 student volunteers, we have served through our virtual platform almost 6,000 low-income taxpayers in 2021. CSUN’s VITA Clinics are helping Californians qualify for the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC).
All services are by appointment only.
