Accounting Students to Provide Free Tax Preparation Assistance
Junior and senior accounting students will once again provide tax preparation assistance free of charge to senior citizens, those with incomes below $54,000, people with disabilities, students, military, and those who speak English as a second language.
The DeSales University VITA program will run Monday, January 23 through Friday, March 31, 2023. The program is part of the United States Internal Revenue Service’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
This marks the 23rd consecutive year that DeSales students have participated in the program.
To schedule a VITA appointment, individuals can call (610) 282-1100, ext. 1868. A DeSales student will return the phone call and provide assistance accordingly. Individuals needing assistance should bring all printed tax information and all documents pertaining to federal, state, and local taxes with them to their appointment.
The program is sponsored by the IRS and supervised by Christopher Cocozza, C.P.A., J.D., head of the division of business and professor of business. Cocozza has served as VITA coordinator at DeSales since the program was initiated at DeSales in 2001.
