UCSB VITA currently accepts appointments made online through our website. We will take appointments FIRST, walk-ins are welcome but we won’t accept new clients 30 minutes before closing.

Depending on your situation, it can range from less than an hour to more. You should schedule an hour of your time for your return to be prepared, however that does not include waiting time.

We do not validate for parking. Below is a map attached of the parking and buildings from our previous tax filing year.

Our VITA volunteers are IRS certified and have gone through extensive tax filing training. Each return is also reviewed by a separate volunteer to ensure there are no mistakes.

Volunteers should sign up for three shifts. However, if you are currently unable to sign up for a time, we will be adding more sign up slots in the future depending on the amount of clients.

We encourage everyone to join even if you're not majoring in Economics or Economics and Accounting! All the necessary training is provided to you by us and there's no need to worry.
