Free tax preparation is available on the following dates at UB's South Campus, 100 Allen Hall (3485 Main St.) in Buffalo from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis only. Wait times may vary.

For more than 20 years, the award- winning, student-run tax service has been provided by the IRS-sponsored Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program with volunteers from the UB chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, an interna- tional honors organization for account- ing and finance students, and the UB Accounting Association. Cumulatively, School of Management students have brought nearly $14 million in refunds back into the region since 2008 by preparing more than 11,200 tax returns. For additional questions, send an email to mgt-freetaxprep@buffalo.edu and a student volunteer will reply within two business days.
