ATTENTION:
USC VITA OPERATIONS UPDATE
Per university policy, USC VITA’s physical location has been closed. However, USC VITA is offering free virtual services from June 6, 2020 to July 15, 2020 (the extended filing deadline) on an appointment basis—one hour per appointment via Zoom. We accept any clients who qualify per the IRS VITA rules.
Volunteer tax preparers will share their screen while preparing your taxes so that you will be “present” during the process and may ask any questions you wish.
Please complete all the steps listed below to complete your appointment booking.
1. Schedule a time slot for your appointment: https://signup.com/go/qsnSPhm. You will be able to sign up for time slots at most one week in advance of the appointment.
2. Upload the relevant documents at least one hour prior to your scheduled appointment: https://forms.gle/th64Tib6rYkKFv4w7.
3. Ensure you have access to Zoom: https://zoom.us/download.
4. Receive an e-mail meeting invitation with the Zoom link at least 12 hours before your appointment.
Disclaimer: USC VITA will take all possible precautions to ensure that your information is secure. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Your information will only intentionally be disclosed to the IRS and will be deleted by the end of the 2019 tax season. By scheduling an appointment with USC VITA and sharing your personal information, you waive USC VITA from any liability arising from inadvertent disclosure of information. We recommend password-protecting the documents that you send to us and e-mailing us the password or providing the password during your appointment on Zoom. The free PDF-Xchange Editor is a useful tool to do so.
