Volunteers

The annual tax-filing season each spring provides opportunities for San Diego State accounting majors to gain hands-on experience preparing income tax returns through VITA. Volunteers of the program perform a variety of duties. Some prepare federal and state income tax returns, while others assist clients with intake questions.

VITA stresses critical thinking, analysis, and the development of excellent communication skills. Volunteers also develop interviewing skills on confidential matters, and learn to investigate with a human relations dimension, through this nationally recognized program.

VITA Volunteer Benefits:

  • Receive free basic training from the IRS.
  • Receive free training on using TaxWise tax software.
  • Become a certified VITA preparer for the IRS.
  • Invaluable real-world experience.
  • Certification of Appreciation from the IRS upon successful completion of the program.

Becoming a VITA volunteer is easy and rewarding. In addition to the obvious enhancement to your resume, you will meet other people who, like you, want to lend a hand at tax time. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are providing a service to those who may need it the most.
