Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
The Spring 2023 VITA sessions will start February 22.
Click here for the Spring 2023 schedule.
We are unable to prepare international returns this year.
- The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at Montana State University has offered free tax assistance to students and members of the Bozeman community for over 30 years.
- Senior and graduate accounting students, who have taken one or more tax classes, go through a special training program and pass an exam prior to preparing tax returns for low-income individuals. The accounting students gain real world experience while providing a valuable service to the community.
- Although some of the tax returns prepared by the students are quite basic, others involve education credits, small businesses, rental property, IRA conversions, multiple states, and a host of other issues.
- An accounting faculty member coordinates the MSU VITA program. The program is sponsored by the Jake Jabs College of Business & Entrepreneurship.
