The tax man cometh, the tax man taketh away. The bumper sticker moniker commonly uttered by our parents doesn't concern most UM students, who are generally filing their taxes before the April 16 deadline. Junior Dan Mormon did his taxes in February, because he knew he was getting a refund.
Many students receive refunds, because they fall into lower tax brackets or qualify for tax credits.
Students who prepare their own taxes have many resources available to them. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance or VITA, meets on Saturdays in GBB Room 225 until April 21. VITA is a free service that helps students prepares their taxes and allows the volunteers to earn college credit. Some students turn to their parents during tax time.
