VITA at Gies -- Take Charge of Your Taxes

Get up-to-date news on the VITA income tax program through Gies Business, including tips for your taxes and the schedule for the Gies VITA site at Salt & Light Urbana. The VITA site opens February 1st and closed in April. We are currently at capacity and not able to start any new tax returns. For more information about the program, visit https://go.gies.illinois.edu/VITA.

Finding out you owe a lot of money for taxes in April is a lousy feeling! You can help avoid this by prepaying your tax liability. Actually, the federal government does expect you to pay as you earn, all year long!

To help you understand your tax liability and when to pay, we now have the webinar recording, Prepay or Prepare to Pay: Tax Planning for Students, available to you.

Learn how to estimate your tax liability and make strategic decisions about pre-paying taxes or adjusting withholdings to avoid penalties and unexpected tax bills, especially for students earning income or receiving fellowships, scholarships, and grants.

Take time to listen to this free webinar recording featuring Mandi Alt, Senior Instructor of Accountancy, Gies College of Business, and produced by University of Illinois Student Money Management Center.

You can download the links (includes a link to the slides) shared in the chat during the webinar.
