Trinity’s Student-Supported VITA Tax Clinic Achieves Record Year of Free Returns
Trinity College’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) clinic is wrapping up its most productive year to date, with a goal to have students prepare at least 760 free tax returns for Hartford residents by the April 15 filing deadline. Hosted at Trinfo in partnership with the United Way of Northeastern CT and The Village for Families & Children, the clinic provides free, Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-certified tax preparation services for individuals earning $69,000 or less, persons with disabilities, and limited English-speaking taxpayers. Located at 1300 Broad Street, the program operates as both a community resource and a hands-on learning experience for Trinity students enrolled in the “Tax Policy and Inequality in Hartford” course.
