MORROW — For the past 37 years, Clayton State University’s College of Business has helped many in the community with their taxes. And they’re ready to do so again in 2024.
The College of Business kicked off its partnership with the United Way Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program Saturday, Feb. 10 to offer free tax preparation assistance for eligible taxpayers using forms 1040EZ, 1040A and simple 1040s.
VITA services will continue in the university’s Innovation Center from 1 to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays through April 3.
Clayton State accounting students will provide free tax preparation to anyone looking for it — under three conditions.
Only individuals who receive a yearly salary of $79,500 or less may use the VITA program. Those with disabilities and any limited English-speaking taxpayers are also free to receive help.
“I was here when we navigated through COVID to keep it going consecutively while a lot of other programs shut down,” program advisor Anthony Hannah said. “It is something that the community has grown to rely on. They know they can come and receive tax service. They know where we are going to be here on Saturdays. We’re going to take the time to file for them.”
