Bluefield State College students and accounting faculty donated more than 700 hours and provided income tax preparation assistance for 321 area residents during the 2006 tax season.
"Our volunteers alert taxpayers to special credits and deductions, helping them in the preparation of forms, answering questions, and providing additional information," noted Goodman.
