JUNCTION CITY, Kan. – The Junction City High School VITA tax site is open to the public for its 23rd tax season, offering tax preparations to community members at no cost.
The services are provided by Junction City High School accounting students, led by teacher Roxanne Whaley. Each season, the students prepare 200 to 300 federal and state tax returns.
“Students become certified by taking tests on Code of Conduct and Basic and Advanced Tax Preparation.
Students are learning basic tax terms and scenarios to assist in preparing the tax returns given to us by the community members,” Whaley said any community members interested in these services may call (785) 717-4261 to schedule an appointment or drop off their tax information at the Junction City High School, located at 1100 Blue Jay Way in Junction City, to have their return completed.
