UCSB VITA currently accepts appointments made online through our website. We will take appointments FIRST, walk-ins are welcome but we won’t accept new clients 30 minutes before closing.
Depending on your situation, it can range from less than an hour to more. You should schedule an hour of your time for your return to be prepared, however that does not include waiting time.
Our VITA volunteers are IRS certified and have gone through extensive tax filing training. Each return is also reviewed by a separate volunteer to ensure there are no mistakes.
