Prepared Taxes for Elderly and Low Income

Forty-six students were tested by the IRS to do income taxes for the low-income and elderly.  Students are expected to prepare over 400 tax returns this year. Most of them are electronically filed and the clients receive a quick refund. The prerequisite for students doing this is to take and pass Tax Accounting.
