Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program


Overview

Each spring, law students from the University of Kansas provide free federal and state tax preparation services to those who qualify through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. 

 


Spring 2024 Program Details

The service operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and the number of preparers varies with the site. Those seeking assistance are encouraged to show up near the start of each session. Please bring proof of identification and all relevant documentation, including proof of income and expenditures. 

To qualify, taxpayers must:

Sessions begin on Monday, February 19th and end on Monday, April 15.
