Why Choose Self-Preparation?
Qualification Criteria
This option is good for:
Tax payers who feel comfortable completing their return with minimal assistance from the VITA volunteers.
For individual taxpayers or married couples with income of less than $84,000 in the 2025 tax year.
Advantages
No need to bring all of your documents to our facility on WWU campus, you can do it completely from your home, from start to finish.
It is possible to file WA state return or/and another state return with your federal tax return (we are allowed to add only the WA state return to the federal tax return for our in person tax assistance clients).
Taxpayers using this option are welcome to make an appointment and get help from our volunteers when needed.
