VITA Mission Statement

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program offers free tax help to the low- to moderate-income population (generally $35,000 and below for individuals, and $75,000 and below for families) who most need tax assistance and cannot afford the services of a paid tax preparer.

We at Brooklyn College seek to fulfill the needs of the surrounding community. Our mission is threefold:

  • For our clients, we aim to prepare accurate returns with the utmost courtesy and professionalism.
  • For our interns, we aim to:
    • provide leadership, training, and real-world experience, and
    • present the importance of an internship and giving back to the community.
  • For the college, we aim to present Brooklyn College as a landmark for academic excellence and service to the community.
