Mount Aloysius College VITA
Welcome to the Mount Aloysius College VITA website! To take advantage of this free tax return preparation service, please call our VITA Office during hours of operation and schedule a time to drop off your tax documents and introduce yourself to our IRS-VITA Program certified volunteers.
Unfortunately, all of our available appointment times are now taken for the 2025 tax season and we are no longer accepting new tax returns. Please visit the IRS’s VITA website to find other VITA sites that may still be able to assist you for the 2025 tax year
The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program & Other Resources
The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who generally make $75,000 or less, persons with disabilities, and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.
Limitations apply relating to annual income level and types of tax returns necessary. In the event we may not be able to assist you with your taxes, we encourage taxpayers to explore and utilize free online resources like those listed below to learn about and do tax returns and to spread word of these resources to others in the community:
You can also use the IRS tool under “Alternative Local VITA Sites” below to look for other options if necessary. For more information about the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, visit the IRS VITA website. If you do not think you qualify for the VITA or online free filing programs, you can also search for paid tax preparers through the IRS directory to assist you with your return.
State and Local Tax Resources
Our VITA site will also provide assistance preparing Pennsylvania state and local income tax returns as well as property tax rebate applications for tax year 2024. For local tax returns and property tax rebate applications, your provider should be mailing you forms and instructions (please bring with you when you schedule your appointment).
