Qualifying taxpayers are invited to receive free tax preparation and electronic filing of their 2021 federal and state income tax returns at the UW-Whitewater Volunteer Income Tax Assistance clinic.
This IRS-sponsored program is available for low- and moderate-income taxpayers at no cost, and no appointments are needed.
Clinic hours are 3:30 to 6 p.m. Wednesdays from Feb. 2 through April 13. Clients will be served on a first-come, first-served basis and they should arrive one hour before closing. Face masks and proper social distancing will be required at the clinic.
New for 2022, the VITA clinic will operate out of the UW-Whitewater Community Engagement Center at 1260 W. Main St., next to Walmart. There is free parking in front of the facility for VITA participants to use.
The VITA clinic is staffed by certified student preparers and supervised by faculty in the College of Business and Economics Department of Accounting. In addition to providing hands-on experience for graduate and undergraduate accounting students, the free VITA clinic helps residents of Whitewater and the surrounding communities.
“We have many long-time clients who return for assistance each spring,” said Robert Meyers, accounting department lecturer and VITA program co-director. “The opportunity to apply training while working with real people is also an invaluable experience for our students.”
