In order to be sure your tax return is correct, we at VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) try to have three different qualified preparers help prepare your return:
1. The Intake and Interview Person . . .
. . . will gather from you the necessary ID and forms to prepare your return
. . . will ask some questions for clarification to make sure you receive all the benefits and credits you should receive.
2. The Tax Return Preparer . . .
. . . will enter the information you have provided and we have gathered from you into a computer to complete your actual return.
. . . will probably ask more questions to be sure we have it all entered correctly and have not missed anything
3. The Quality Reviewer . . .
. . . will then look over your prepared return (on the computer) one final time to check for possible typing errors and other mistakes to be sure you are receiving all the benefits and credits you should receive.
You will then be asked to sign an electronic filing consent form (which we keep on file) allowing us to file your tax return electronically.
You will also receive a printed copy of your electronically filed tax return for your personal records.
VITA prepares federal, state and local tax returns for qualified clients. The federal and PA state tax returns can be efiled, the local returns cannot. If you were a resident of another state for a portion of the year or have earned income from another state, we are generally able to locate and efile those other state tax returns as well.
