CEDAR CITY – The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program at Southern Utah University is ready for another year of helping Cedar City residents prepare their taxes.
These VITA services are free of charge to anyone with an annual income of $53,000 or less, to persons with disabilities, persons elderly and those who are limited English-speaking taxpayers in need of assistance.
Each year, students enrolled in the School of Business accounting department complete between 600-800 tax returns for community members.
Assisting local taxpayers in obtaining over a million in total federal tax refunds, VITA also provides a return for students. Preparing taxes gives students practical experience that complements their classroom education and builds resumes.
VITA assistance is available on a first-come, first-served walk-in basis Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays through April 12, from 5:30-8 p.m at the Dixie Leavitt Business Building, Room 207, on the campus of Southern Utah University, 351 W. University Blvd., Cedar City.
