Eastern students bring tax savings to Willimantic residents

Students from Eastern's College of Business are providing cost-free tax preparation services to local community members through the IRS' Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA) this tax season. The national program offers free tax preparation services through mid-April for households making less than $69,000 annually.

This tax season, Windham's VITA location is staffed by 18 student volunteers who provide income-tax preparation services to community members. The students practically apply skills learned in class, having completed IRS tax certification prior to the site's opening.
