About
VITA at UCLA is a student-run program, part of the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance model, in which trained undergraduates prepare free federal and state tax returns for low-income Los Angeles residents. During tax season it runs appointments on weekdays in Ackerman Union and on weekends at public library branches such as Westwood, Pico Union, Exposition Park and the Central Library. Every volunteer must pass tax-law training that meets IRS standards, and each return gets a second-person quality review before it is filed.
