NOTICE:  SDSU VITA IS CLOSED

Under the directive of the San Diego State University President, our VITA Program is closed. If you have any questions, please reference the information below.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is an IRS program designed to assist low income taxpayers (generally people who make $54,000 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited English speaking taxpayers (including non-US residents) who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns) file their tax returns. Volunteers at this location are SDSU students that have been trained and certified by the IRS to prepare federal and California state income tax returns free of charge.

Mission

The mission of SDSU VITA is to improve the lives of the campus community by providing free tax assistance in partnership with the IRS. Many students and other community members do not have access to affordable tax preparation services or are unaware of tax programs (e.g., Earned Income Tax Credit; Education Tax Credit; Child Tax Credit) that could put thousands of dollars back in their hands and into the local economy. SDSU VITA also provides assistance to SDSU international students with their non-resident income tax compliance. International students often need special assistance to navigate this unfamiliar and complex area of tax law.

SDSU VITA is sponsored by Lindsey and Brownell, LLP, a premier tax and accounting services firm for Individuals, Closely Held Businesses, Estates & Trusts, and Non-Profit Organizations
