Tax Law Society Meeting

The new Richard Blennerhasset Tax Law Society will be having an informational meeting on Thursday October 20 during Chapel Break in the Pelzer Classroom.

RBTLS is the student organization that runs the Volunteer Return Preparation Program (formerly known as VITA). We prepare income tax returns for elderly and underprivileged members of the community who cannot afford professional tax preparation.

Everyone (students, faculty, and staff) is welcome to join and volunteer. The IRS will conduct a training session later this year to get all of our volunteers trained on how to prepare simple tax returns. If you have ever done your own taxes with TurboTax or other software, you will find this very easy to do. Even if you have no tax experience, learning with the IRS program is very easy and it’s a great skill to have for the future.

Time spent preparing taxes with RBTLS also qualifies as Pro Bono hours for your graduation requirement.

Come find out about our Volunteer Tax Preparation Program and the other activities RBTLS does to help the community. Join us Thursday during Chapel Break in Pelzer.

For more information or if you want to participate but cannot attend, email Jay Perez at: juan.perez@valpo.edu.
