- Filer owns rental property (i.e., filer is the landlord)
- K-1 income unless it is interest, dividends and royalties (these types are approved)
- Filer gains from the sale of assets other than stocks and mutual funds (e.g. sale of land, options or virtual currency are out of scope)
- Non-cash charitable contribution of over $500
- Farm income (or loss)
- Self-employed SEP, SIMPLE and qualified plans
- Cancelation of debt income other than personal credit card debt or qualified principal residence indebtedness
- Nondeductible IRAs
- Nonresident aliens who do not meet the green card or substantial presence test and are not married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien
- Students on an F, J, M, or Q Visa or Teachers or Trainees on a J Visa
- Small business income if that business has any of the following: Employees; Payments to independent contractors; A loss for the year; Business maintains inventory; Total expenses over $35,000; Hobby or "not-for-profit" income; Business use of home; Depreciation
The above is a partial list of areas VITA is not trained in. If a filer has an unusual item, the filer should please note the item when scheduling an appointment.
