Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), an IRS program, will provide free tax help to the community through March 25 at Coastal Carolina University.

The University's accounting students will help with e-filing, basic tax returns with earnings of $42,000 or less, international student returns and multiple state returns.

People will need to bring: W2s, 1098Ts, 1099s, copy of last year's tax return (if available), Social Security card (if available), and any other information you have received regarding income tax. If there is a direct deposit of refund, bring proof of account, such as a voided check.

Assistance will be available in room 201 of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration on Mondays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. There will be no VITA hours during the Spring Break, which is the week of March 16 to March 20.
