This non-profit was established in April of 2016 to provide a dedicated platform for a VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Program that had been operating as a program under another non-profit since 2006. Since 2006 and as of Tax Season 2024, our VITA Program has prepared 63,196 federal and state tax returns for Hawaii residents saving them approximately $15.8 Million in tax preparation fees and helping them claim $135.3 Million in refunds and refundable tax credits. Program service expenses listed do not include items such as salary and benefits or expenses pertaining to the non-profit (vs. direct program expenses) such as insurance costs, fees or bookkeeping software. 0 35375 35375 Susan Tamanaha President/CEO and Director 55 54285 4419 6243 Bricen Moritsugu Vice-President / Director 0.5 0 0 0 Shelley Ng Secretary-Treasurer / Director 0.5 0 0 0 Wayne Fernandes Vice-President / Director 0.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Doris Steinhoff 1422 Heulu Street A-101 Honolulu HI 96822 8082328484 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 61856 102661 74281 73037 97086 408921 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 61856 102661 74281 73037 97086 408921 0 408921 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 408921 0 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Susan Tamanaha President and CEO No interest loan to cover operating expenses because of delay in receipt of grant funds.
