It is  strongly recommended  to go to the classroom training if you have NO experiences with VITA and Taxwise (a computer software that is used for doing income tax returns). Please do not forget to bring a photo ID for access (ex. QC ID).
For directions, you may go to http://www.hopstop.com to find out. 


In the training, we will go over the basic and procedures of doing tax return. And we will have a tax return scenarios, case study, and Taxwise display. You will receive a set of reference books and a free individual package of Taxwise on the day of training.

There is no pre-requirements of the training. Besides college students, some high school students, as a VITA volunteer, will receive the VITA training too. As you can see, there is no problem about lacking experiences and knowledge in Taxation.

**** For the students who registered hybrid training, you will need to attend another mandatory introduction section of using Taxwise in January, before the time of the certification examination. It will be considered on the Saturday(s) in January, from 10am to 2pm. The exact time and details will be announced****

The VITA (tax preparer) certification examination is open-book; and it is strongly recommended that you have your references next to you at the moment of examination. The cut-off line is 80% of the total grade. You may take it online or on paper. More details and requirements for the testing will be covered on the first day of training.  

After you finished and passed the training, we will work in different locations in Queens. More details will be announced very soon. Working hours with VITA is very flexible and we still have plenty of time to schedule it for each one of you.
