IRS VITA Services

Tax filing made easy

The East Texas A&M College of Business has partnered with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to offer free tax return preparation and filing for eligible taxpayers in Northeast Texas.

What is Vita?

The VITA program is an IRS initiative that provides free tax preparation services to underserved populations. This service helps individuals with low to moderate income ($67,000 or less), persons with disabilities, the elderly and limited English speakers file their taxes each year at no cost.

The East Texas A&M College of Business is a proud participant in the VITA program.
