This program is sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to assist taxpayers with completing and filing their taxes. Students earned advanced tax certifications to qualify to participate in this program and subsequently met with clients to perform client intake, tax preparation and quality review. Tax returns were filed by students electronically for clients. Students filed taxes on campus for the first time in many years, using our new consulting lab.
