Schedule
Schedule an appointment to have your federal and state taxes prepared for free by business and law students. You must be a U. S. citizen or resident-alien to receive services at this VITA site. Please use this page to determine if you are a non-resident or resident-alien for tax purposes. If you have lived in the U. S. long enough (about 5.5 years) to be a resident for tax purposes, we can assist you. If you are a non-resident alien, we CANNOT do your return. You should get help from Global Connections.
