VITA, a national program supported by the Internal Revenue Service, is designed to provide free tax assistance to individuals with basic tax returns, particularly those with low and fixed incomes. The returns done in the VITA center will be e-filed in most cases. SOSU student volunteers from the School of Business, along with Parker's team of volunteers, will provide the service. "This program is a win-win situation in that it is a benefit to the community, SOSU, the stu­ dents and it gives us the oppor­ tunity to partner with Big Five Community Services," said Ed Hobbs, assistant professor of accounting-finance at SOSU. "The student volunteers are advanced accounting majors who have taken the university's individual income tax course.
