The VITA program provides big advantages for students

Accounting students, especially those interested in tax, should aim to complete the VITA program while they’re still in school.

By completing the VITA program, students can

  • Get a head start on earning their EA certification before graduating
  • Boost their resume regardless of their certification track
  • Advertise tax specialization even if they become a CPA
  • Increase their Big 4 recruiting value

VITA does not require a minimum amount of college credits, so students can participate as early as their freshman or sophomore years.

How do my students apply for the VITA program?

If your school doesn’t offer a VITA course, students can register through the IRS by completing the VITA/TCE Volunteer and Partner Signup form.
