Is it safe to submit my documents via the Virtual VITA, VITA2GO and SCAN2GO!?
Your privacy and security is the most important part of this process.
- Our partnership with Moxtra allows us to provide our Community Tax Centers clients with some of the world’s leading financial institutions.
- All your tax documents will be uploaded to a secure server.
- We will be sending your return to you via an encrypted pdf that only you will be able to access.
- Our organization uses an IRS issued software called TaxSlayer, which provides multiple security measures to authenticate the login of one of our certified tax preparers.
- Once a return has been transmitted and accepted, the client data will be wiped clean.

How VITA2Go (Drive-Thru Dropoff) Works:
Our VITA To Go! Tax Preparation is best for clients that do not have access to a printer or would like to “drop off” their tax documents rather than upload them:
1. For the month of February, our VITA2GO (drive-thru VITA) events will take place on Saturdays from 10 am – 2 pm at:
Southern Bible Institute & College
7200 S Hampton Rd, Dallas, TX 75232.
Download our comprehensive checklist to make sure you have all tax documents in place BEFORE arriving at our drop off location:
2. Upon arriving, please fill out our intake packet (they will be available at the selected location) and organize your tax documents.
3. You will be directed in a line to the two stations that will serve you:
The first station will verify your eligibility and verify you have all the necessary documents with you.
The second station will take your documents and scan them into our cloud system without you having to leave your car.
4. Once we have scanned your documents, our staff will upload your documents to a secure server where our tax preparers will begin to work on your return. NO TAX PREPARATION WILL BE CONDUCTED AT OUR VITA2GO EVENTS.
5. Our tax preparers will begin to prepare your tax returns off site, and will send it for quality review once it has been completed.
If a tax preparer has a question regarding a part of your return, they will attempt to contact you with your main form of communication.
6. Once a return is being quality reviewed, we will call to schedule a follow up Phone Review Call. This call will be to verify your identity and to go over your return.
If you are filing as Married Filing Jointly, BOTH spouses must be present for the review call.
7. Once a review call has been set up, you will receive an encrypted pdf of your tax return via email. Your tax preparer will walk you through your return and you will be able to sign the Form 8879, allowing us to e-file your tax return.
Once the return has been signed, you will receive a signed copy of your return for your records.
8. After you have signed Form 8879, our tax preparers will transmit your return to the IRS and you’ll be on your way to getting your tax refund!
We continue to monitor our tax returns to make sure they have been accepted by the IRS. If for some reason your return is rejected, we will reach back out to you to fix the error.
