The 2023 Tax Season, Seattle University/United Way of King County Low Income Tax Prep Program has started! Here is some information to help you answer routine questions.
For over 40 years, Seattle University accounting students have been providing the local community with a valuable tax preparation service. The program is a joint venture between Seattle University accounting students, United Way of King County, and the Internal Revenue Service. Students and United Way volunteers prepare tax returns for the public free of charge. The program was developed with the goal of helping individual taxpayers cope with the complexity of filing an accurate tax return. It gives accounting students a chance to use their skills to help others in the Seattle University community.
Former SU Accounting Professor John Harding established VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) in 1975, when the Internal Revenue Service asked for volunteers to help the public work through the complexities of tax returns.
