Type of Tax Prep Service: 

Leave & Retrieve VITA: At Leave & Retrieve VITA sites, taxpayers visit in person and undergo the Intake/Interview process, typically 20-30 minutes, before leaving all necessary documents needed to prepare the return. The taxpayer will then leave and certified tax preparers on-site will begin working on the tax return. The taxpayer will then need to comeback after a few hours or on a different day to participate in the quality review process and to retrieve their documents before the return can be finalized and filed.
