VOLUNTEER INCOME TAX ASSISTANCE
In the early 70’s Gary Iskowitz, was doing graduate work as well as teaching tax law while working for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agency. Mr. Iskowitz saw a growing problem with questionable tax preparers who were scamming low-income people in his area. He did not like what he saw! Consequently, he proposed training a few likeminded student volunteers to go into the community to prepare free tax returns for underserved residents. The rest, they say, is history! 40 years later, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is still going strong. If you would like to continue Iskowitz’s legacy by volunteering, contact the Site coordinator in the UF/IFAS extension office at [email protected] or stop by their office: 615 Paul Russell Rd, Tallahassee, Florida 32305. No experience is needed! They will train you. Hours are flexible.
