Eastern Washington resident can get free online help with federal tax returns from WSU students in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.
PULLMAN, Wash. – Qualifying residents in Eastern Washington can get free online help with federal tax returns through the Internal Revenue Service’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA).
Washington State University moved its student-led VITA program online after the pandemic forced the closure of many in-person sites. Whitworth University’s VITA program in Spokane, which was also affected by in-person site closures, has joined forces to provide tax volunteers through WSU’s online site.
“We are so pleased to have this cooperation between WSU and Whitworth to help our neighbors in the region prepare their federal tax returns,” said Jeff Gramlich, WSU accounting professor and advisor of the WSU student-led VITA program.

Understanding how global warming occurs is a critical step toward believing it’s real, the researchers concluded.
The greenhouse gas effect describes how greenhouse gases – such as carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane – act like a blanket, absorbing energy from the sun and trapping warm air in the earth’s atmosphere. Despite scientists’ overwhelming consensus that burning fossil fuels warms the planet by increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, many Americans don’t believe in climate change or its tie to human activity.
“Our studies found a significant portion of individuals whose attitudes about global warming changed through education,” said Andrew Perkins, an associate professor of marketing and international business at the WSU Carson College of Business. “After learning about the mechanism by which climate change is occurring, they had the facts to understand it.”
