Teacher Daniel Adler and student volunteers hosted the annual VITA Tax Fair on Saturday, February 6. The event was organized by seniors Kaitlyn Frawley and Alyssa Wren.
Though the turnout was not as high as anticipated, the volunteers were exceptionally prepared and toiled tirelessly to make this event happen.
“We did about 25 returns―not as much as we’d have liked, considering last year’s results were higher―but it was amazing,” said Adler.
Typically, those who visit Poly High School for the VITA tax returns come back every year to get taxes done for free―it just so happened that less people showed up.
Many positions at the tax fair were held by students―senior Timothy White, for instance, was the sole person in charge of helping people register to vote. On Saturday, March 26, the Los Angeles County of Equalization will be aiding the VITA team by rounding up people in need of getting tax returns complete―this means that resources will not need to be used for advertising and producing flyers on VITA’s behalf.
Those interested in getting taxes done with the VITA team at Poly High School may contact (562)-607-7986. Tax returns will continue on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
