    Description
    This is the second course in a sequence of two courses designed for students who want to volunteer in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at Río Hondo College. This course allows students who have successfully passed ACCT108 to apply their tax knowledge by assisting low income individuals and families with tax return preparation through the VITA program for the current year. Students learn to use the tax software (e.g., TaxWise) to file individual federal and state income tax returns accurately within the scope of the VITA program. Students learn how to develop a system of quality control for actual taxpayer returns, and develop communication skills through interviews with taxpayers and in explaining tax return results. This course is offered on a pass/no pass basis.
