St. Thomas Law's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program - 32 Years of Community Service

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is the oldest pro bono program at St. Thomas University School of Law. Founded in 1984, by Professor Mark J. Wolff, the program has secured refunds for our taxpayers in excess of $10,000,000; student, faculty, and staff pro bono hours have exceeded 40,000. Last year, St. Thomas Law VITA assisted nearly 200 taxpayers, resulting in approximately $200,000 in tax refunds. This year is no different. The students will spend the entire tax season tirelessly working every Saturday, as well as during the week, to provide this important free service to the most needed and vulnerable members of our greater surrounding communities.

This program is an excellent example of St. Thomas Law’s dedication to giving back to the community, with current and former students, faculty, and staff on hand to make this tax season a success.
