Business Students Take on Taxes

Six students in the Business Division, led by their coordinator Professor Jill Beier, participated in VITA 2015.

VITA, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program, is a nationwide free income tax return preparation program. To participate, students must attend a 3-day training session in which they learn to prepare tax returns and receive certification. This year, MMC students prepared returns in VITA sites located in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island.

2015 accomplishments included approximately 84 income tax returns completed and approximately $70,000 in refunds returned to low income New Yorkers.

2015 participants: Citlalli Franco, Miriam DiLorenzo, Xiaoyi He, Dyan Lafuente Reyes (alumna), Steffany Franco, and Christopher Zimmerman

Prof. Beier and VITA participants shared their experience with students on Business Day 2015. They expressed their fulfillment in giving back to the community as participants in the VITA program and were honored for their contributions.
