Bluefield State College - April News Releases

BSC Vita Program Volunteers
Give Nearly 350 Hours
to Income Tax Assistance Project

Bluefield State College Accounting Club students and BSC accounting faculty donated 348.5 hours and prepared 412 income tax returns to area residents through this year's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service.

In addition to assisting in the completion of 201 federal income tax returns, BSC VITA volunteers provided assistance with 211 state tax returns.

The BSC VITA volunteers offered free tax assistance throughout February, March, and April (until the April 17 filing deadline). "Volunteers alerted taxpayers to special credits and deductions," William Goodman, BSC associate professor of accounting, noted. "Our students enjoy the satisfaction of helping others, and many people find this service very meaningful because it helps them to complete their tax returns in a way that's comfortable for them."

"These students worked hard and made a great contribution to the College's relations with the community," Goodman observed. "They also put classroom skills to work in a 'real world' type environment."
