The students are IRS-certified volunteers who provide free basic income tax return preparation including electronic filing. Students have to pass multiple exams developed by the IRS and log many hours of training before they are allowed to start preparing returns. Then the students are scheduled for nearly eight weeks of tax return preparation service at two hours per week. The CoB offers a one-credit class to students for completing the program.

VITA has been a successful program with 31 student volunteers (one outside CoB) and nearly 500 returns completed in spring 2015.
