​MSU Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

Hi everyone! My name is Erich Schroeder, and I’m a Junior majoring in Accounting. This will be my third year with the VITA program, and I’m excited to be serving as the President. I first got involved as a freshman, hoping to learn more about accounting, and have since developed a passion for the tax field and for helping clients. Over the past three years, VITA has been an incredible opportunity, allowing me to give back to the community while connecting with so many amazing people. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, and making espresso. I’m really looking forward to meeting you all this year and welcoming you to the MSU VITA team! And of course, feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions.

In my free time, I enjoy working out, reading books, golfing, cooking, and collecting vinyl records. I am very excited to support the organization as Vice President this year!
