2008 VITA (Voluntary Income Tax Assistance) Program

The large, foreign national student community at UH has benefited from VITA’s assistance in preparing their U.S. tax returns (Forms 1040 NR or 1040 NR EZ) in accordance with complex tax laws since 1998. The VITA program is offered by the Houston Chapter of CPAs in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service to assist UH foreign nationals with preparing nonresident alien tax returns.

Location: University Center in the Bayou City Room (# 202) on 2nd floor

Help-dates: March 1, 15, 22; and April 5, 12 (Saturdays only)

Times: 9:30AM to 2PM

(Note – The VITA program has partnered with the Mayor’s Citizens’ Assistance Office, some financial institutions, and a few local businesses to “receive the baton” that was passed from the IRS. The organization has taken on the name, Houston Asset Building Coalition (HABC). This coalition is responsible for all phases of the VITA program.)
