Students from two University of Iowa colleges will again this year provide free tax-return preparations to people who qualify for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program.

According to a UI news release, volunteers from the College of Law and the Tippie College of Business last year completed nearly 1,000 returns, and taxpayers received nearly $1.4 million in refunds. This service will begin Wednesday and will run until April 14.

The program will be held during various dates and times at the Iowa City Public Library, Northwest Junior High, Southeast Junior High, Garner Elementary, and the Pappajohn Business Building.
