Income tax filing assistance offered by ONU's VITA program

Posted by Paula Scott on Wednesday, January 31, 2024

Ohio Northern University’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is again offering free income tax preparation for community members who make about $70,000 or less annually.

In turn, this service enables ONU’s Dicke College of Business Administration students to receive practical training with tax preparation software and interpersonal communication, and to become IRS-certified to help prepare basic and intermediate tax returns. Students also gain experience in identifying and helping clients claim special credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit and Credit for the Elderly, which can significantly influence filing outcomes.

Services include offering general filing guidance, completing tax returns for individuals, and e-filing those returns with the IRS.

MLK visited Ohio Northern 56 years ago

Posted by Staff on Sunday, January 14, 2024

From ONU.edu

As our nation prepares to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, we commemorate the 56th anniversary of Dr. King’s speech at Ohio Northern on Jan. 11, 1968.

“Somewhere we must come to see that human progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals who are willing to be co-workers with God. Without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So, it is necessary to help time and to realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
