VITA 2024

Are you interested in becoming a Volunteer Tax-Preparer?

Each year the Accounting Department trains students to become volunteer tax-preparers. Students, who passed the IRS Basic and Advance Volunteer Tax-Preparers Exams, are placed by NYC Food Bank, Grow Brooklyn, and the Urban Upbound at various sites throughout the metropolitan area to volunteer. It is at these sites that you will obtain your priceless experience of preparing actual tax returns for low income individuals. You will also be certified by the IRS as a basic and advance tax preparer.

Eligibility: Must be self-motivated and ready to work! Students who have taken ACC 241, or plan to take ACC 241 should consider volunteering. All majors can participate!

Students that are interested in volunteering, please ensure to attend the information sessions to address all questions and concerns.

Information Session Dates: December 21 (6 – 7 p.m.) and 22 (5 – 6 p.m.), 2023.
