Harris-Stowe State University and the Anheuser-Busch School of Business proudly announces its free tax preparation service and low-income tax clinic, from February 3-April 16, 2011.
Free tax services are extended to any and everyone interested in having their 2010 taxes prepared by certified volunteers, under the supervision of and Dr. Owolabi Tiamiyu, CPA, assistant professor of business administration, and Quintin Davis, CPA, accounting instructor at Harris-Stowe. Additional CPAs will be on hand to advise. While the HSSU tax clinic is open to everyone, it uniquely caters to international individuals and families, the elderly and low-to-moderate income households.
In addition to the tax preparation services being offered, the clinic has joined forces with the Internal Revenue Service to assist low-income tax payers with solving any tax-related issues an individual may experience, such as tax delinquency, non-filing of past taxes, etc. The goal is to help individuals within the St. Louis community gain peace of mind where their tax issues are concerned.
“HSSU’s Tax Clinic, now in its fourth year of tax preparation and advisement services, has enjoyed a stellar reputation with the IRS and the community for serving low-income families,” said Dr. Fatemeh Zakery, dean of the Anheuser-Busch School of Business. “The clinic’s proven success and dependability have resulted in a system that permits HSSU accounting students, who are trained and certified by the IRS, the opportunity to effectively and efficiently practice their profession by serving the community under the direct supervision of IRS experts and accounting professors.”
