University VITA program continues to serve clients

VITA program offers free tax help to persons who generally make $55,000 or less who need assistance in preparing returns
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, March 23, 2020

If your returns have already been prepared, they will be reviewed as soon as possible, and someone will be in touch with you to confirm.

If you have not yet had your returns prepared, there are two ways ONU VITA can still help.
