Monticello High School (MHS) is proud to once again host the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program for the 2025 tax season. 

VITA provides free tax preparation services for families with household incomes less than $67,000 in 2024 at no cost to taxpayers. 

IRS-certified student volunteers from the Academy of Finance (AOF) at the high school provide basic income tax preparation and electronic filing for eligible individuals. Students have worked hard to master tax law and earn their IRS certification.  

In 2024, MHS/AOF assisted with 160 tax returns, saving the Monticello community approximately $37,985 in preparation fees. The program has been running for 18 years in the district. 

VITA services will be available at Monticello High School on Wednesdays, until April 9 from 2:30 p.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday hours are also available on March 29 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

To schedule an appointment, call Monticello High School at 845/794-8840, ext. 10966.
