Volunteers Needed for Tax Program Assisting Low-Income Families

Reach out to those in need – share your financial expertise by volunteering for the Tax Assistance Program!

Accounting Aid Society's Tax Assistance Program is among the nation's largest free tax assistance programs serving people in poverty. More than 6,700 families living in poverty received income tax refunds and tax credits through the Tax Assistance Program this year. More than $6.4 million was returned directly to low-income residents in Wayne, Oakland and
Macomb counties.

The MACPA, in conjunction with its Communications Task Force, is once again hosting a site for the Accounting Aid Society’s Tax Assistance Program. The MACPA is adopting Focus:HOPE in Detroit on two Saturdays – Feb. 11 and Feb. 18, 2006. At this event, you can provide tax assistance to low income families and individuals who would not otherwise be able to afford the valuable advice of a CPA.

Volunteers must attend a training session that explains
the software used, typical client situations and tax
updates. Experienced tax professionals may attend an abbreviated session lasting from two to four hours. Complimentary CPE credit will be offered for volunteers attending these training sessions.

We’d like you to be a part of this wonderful community service program – so e-mail or call the MACPA Communications Department at 248.267.3717 and sign up for a training session or to volunteer!
