The free tax preparation offered by Lee University’s Department of Business and the Internal Revenue Service is ending this Saturday, April 14. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) will be available Friday and Saturday in the Walker Memorial Building on Lee’s campus.

IRS certified junior and senior accounting students will provide assistance at the Walker Memorial Building in Room 108 from 2:30-5:30 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday. They will not be filing midnight returns.

In its sixth year, the VITA program at Lee is a tax return preparation service for any taxpayer whose maximum gross annual income does not exceed $50,000.

“Because of the affect the economy is having on many, taxpayers will find this FREE tax preparation service to their advantage,” said Greg Della Franco, Assistant Professor of Accounting at Lee University and coordinator of the VITA program on campus.
