2012 VITA (Voluntary Income Tax Assistance) Program
The large, foreign national student community at UH (23rd in the
U.S.) 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. The University of Houston was approved as
a VITA site in 1998 for UH foreign nationals. The VITA program
is offered by the Houston Chapter of CPAs in cooperation with
the Internal Revenue Service. The VITA program consists of
volunteers from the Houston Chapter of CPAs and the local
community who review and/or prepare tax returns for those
individuals who need help in the local community. Most campus
volunteers will be provided by the College of Business. The site
manager will train these volunteers in preparing nonresident
alien tax returns. International Student Services will provide
the publicity for this campus event.
Location - University Center in the Bayou City Room (#
202) on 2nd floor
Help-dates - March 17, 24, 31 and April 7, 14 (Saturdays
only)
Times - 9:30AM to 2PM
This program will not only provide an invaluable service to the
foreign national community at the University of Houston, but
also an enriching and educational experience for those students
volunteering to help in preparing tax returns for UH foreign
nationals.
