The Michigan Tech College of Business (COB) is pleased to again offer Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, a service offered at the University for more than 20 years. Accounting majors will provide free income tax preparation assistance for students and members of the community who could not otherwise afford the services of a CPA tax professional.

Assistance is provided by appointment via Google Calendar only. To schedule a 30-minute session, visit one of the following calendars: VITA, VITA-1, or VITA-2. You may need to check all three calendars for an available spot on a desired date/time. Walk-in and virtual appointments are not available.

Appointments, held in the Academic Office Building, Room G015, are available beginning Monday, March 13 through Wednesday, April 12 during the following times:

  • Mondays 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 3:30-5:30 p.m.
  • Tuesdays 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
  • Wednesdays 2 p.m.-4 p.m.
