IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation with electronic filing to qualified individuals. Tax preparation and filing assistance will be available on a walk-in basis every Wednesday through April 4 (except during Spring Break on March 21) from 2-4:30 p.m. in Reynolds Business Center Room 104. Taxpayers have an option to prepare their own free simple federal and state tax return using web-based tax preparation software using an onsite computer. To have a return prepared by a volunteer, participants should bring a valid photo identification, Social Security card, W-2s, 1099 forms, a copy of last year鈥檚 tax return, and any other information and forms concerning income and expenses for 2017.聽 Faculty members from the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Department of Accounting and students from the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Accounting Society and Beta Alpha Psi have been training for months to provide tax help for the public. 鈥淲e believe this service to 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock students, staff, faculty, and the general public will fill the needs of taxpayers who do not have the funds to pay for-profit tax preparers for simple returns,鈥� said Cynthia Johnson, an accounting instructor in the College of Business and faculty advisor of the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock VITA program. Beta Alpha Psi members discovered the VITA program while attending a conference in 2016. 鈥淎 couple of the students trained and volunteered at a VITA center in downtown Little Rock during last year鈥檚 tax season to see how it works,鈥� Johnson said. 鈥淓nough students were interested in training and volunteering this year that we decided we would be able to handle opening a center on campus. The students are getting really great experience dealing with real clients, and the taxpayers are receiving a very valuable service.鈥� For more information, contact Johnson at cljohnson1@ualr.edu. ]]> /news-archive/2017/11/28/continuing-professional-education-cpa/ Tue, 28 Nov 2017 14:08:37 +0000 /news/?p=68602 ... 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock to host continuing professional education event for CPAs]]> The University of Arkansas at Little Rock will host a continuing professional education event for certified public accountants on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
