Reminder: Free Income Tax Assistance Available on Campus beginning Feb. 7

Hudson Valley Community College is working with the United Way of the Greater Capital Region for the fourth straight year to host Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), a national program where community members can get free assistance to prepare their federal and state tax returns from IRS-certified volunteers.

Again this year, some of the IRS trained and certified volunteers will be Hudson Valley students studying in the Accounting or Business Administration programs.

VITA assistance will be held in the Bulmer Telecommunications Center, room 216, from 1 – 4 p.m. on the following dates:

February 7, 14, 21, 28
March 7, 14, 28
April 4, 11
Registrants should sign in at the lobby on the first floor of the Bulmer Center.

VITA is open to all students, staff and community members who qualify.
Eligibility requirements include:

  • Annual income should be $67k or less
  • Must not have rental income
  • Must not have completed bankruptcy during the year
  • Must not have self-employment income from selling inventory
  • Other qualifications may apply depending on rare circumstances
