Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA)

Free Tax Preparation for Qualified Individuals

What is VITA? The VITA Program (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) offers free tax preparation to  low-to-moderate-income ($70,000 and below) people who would like a trained individual to prepare their tax returns.  Certified volunteers sponsored by Northeastern State University and Goodwill receive training to help prepare basic tax returns for the community.  If you qualify, Northeastern State University (Broken Arrow Campus) and Goodwill are now offering this program to you.  We prepare Federal and State returns.

The service is open to members of surrounding communities, as well as the campus community, their families, and friends. Please visit https://www.picktime.com/gwt for self-service scheduling or call 918-449-6560 for assistance with scheduling an appointment
