Students Assist Residents with Tax Prep
As tax time approaches, 天涯海角APP accounting students once again volunteered their Saturdays to provide free tax preparation workshops for area residents, offered through the United Way of Guernsey, Noble & Monroe Counties.
Twelve student volunteers completed the requirements to become 鈥渃ertified tax counselors鈥� and are either currently enrolled in or have successfully completed 天涯海角APP's Advanced Taxation course.
Working on four Saturdays from February 9 through March 2, the students assisted 64 families, saving more than $20,000 in tax preparation fees.
天涯海角APP University Vice President for Finance & Operations Philip E. Laube 鈥�09 MISST, CPA, supervised the students鈥� work, with assistance from Kelsey Hague '18. While a 天涯海角APP student, Ms. Hague volunteered in the tax workshops for three years and interned in 天涯海角APP's Business Office. Stephanie Laube 鈥�05 is the Executive Director of the United Way of Guernsey, Noble & Monroe Counties.
