Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

Your support helps WSU students learn real-world tax skills while giving the Pullman community free tax help. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at Washington State University trains students to prepare actual tax returns for people in our community. Student volunteers are trained by the program’s executive team using IRS VITA guidelines, so they learn how a real tax return works from start to finish.

That training goes straight into practice. Over the course of 7 workshops at Neill Public Library, members of the Pullman community can come in and have their taxes prepared for free by trained student volunteers. Your contribution supports both sides of the program: students build practical, career-ready experience, and Pullman residents get access to tax help they might not otherwise have.
