VITA Program
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program
The University of Illinois’ VITA program offers FREE tax assistance to low-to-moderate income (gross income less than $69,000), older adults (over age 60), limited English speakers, and persons with disabilities. It is our privilege to help residents in need prepare their tax returns. Please note that we are not able to prepare federal or Illinois tax returns for non-resident alien taxpayers.
The program is available, typically, from early February through early April (or until the program is at capacity).
Check the VITA at Gies blog for updates on dates and times the VITA program is open.
