VITA offers tax preparation assistance to low-to-moderate income taxpayers. 精东影业service is free to students, employees and community members who meet the eligibility requirements.
精东影业VITA site at 精东影业, the Schwartz Center, will be open for appointments and walk-ins on three dates: Feb. 6, March 5 and April 2. Volunteers are required to prepare returns for a minimum of 16 hours. Internships require additional hours and travel to an Akron VITA site for academic credit.
