Temple University offers free tax services
Temple University is once again offering free tax return preparation. Due to the Coronavirus we are running our VITA program virtually this year – although you will have the opportunity to interact with our preparers and reviewers via Zoom or the telephone. We have set up three alternative ways for you to utilize our services and those of our partners.
We are working with a national nonprofit Code for America, which has provided us access to their secure, IRS approved, internet platform where you can fill out your intake form and upload your documents. Get started>>

FOX SCHOOL NEWS
Immersed in Thailand in the time of COVID-19
Right now, planning an international trip feels like a thing of the past—or of the distant future. Traveling to faraway places is not part of our lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. But back in January 2020, a cohort of undergraduate students at the Fox School traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, for an up-close look at its business and cultural landscape.
The Fox community gives back
At the Fox School, we’re committed to supporting the important work done by so many local and national non-profit organizations. We want to support our neighbors as well as the wider community by amplifying the resources of civic-minded organizations and charities. That’s a bit more difficult to accomplish in a virtual world, but that has not stopped our faculty and staff. Here’s just a snapshot of how some of them have found ways to give back.
