 days Jan. 29 through April 15. Preparers will offer free tax assistanc
 e and electronic filing at the MD Anderson YMCA, 705 Cavalcade, near t
 he Irvington intersection.   “The UST/YMCA site has been one of the
  largest ones in the city; we do anywhere from 100-150 returns per Sat
 urday,” said Professor Ramon Fernandez, MBA, CPA, CFP®, CMA, CIA, w
 ho oversees the VITA program for UST. “It is managed and run complet
 ely by UST students, alumni, and friends. UST alumna Lucy Petry, CPA, 
 is back this year as our very valued site manager. We are a 100 percen
 t computerized VITA site providing free electronic filing.”   Tax p
 reparation is available for Forms 1040EZ, 1040A, and even the long for
 m 1040. The program also offers assistance with itemized deductions (S

 income (Schedule C), rent and royalty and K-1 income (Schedule E). The
