Beyond Careers FSA
Beyond Careers Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) free tax preparation program will have a Facilitated Self Assistance (FSA) program that will be implemented at high schools for the upcoming tax season. The FSA is at No Cost for individual and family taxpayers in the low-to-moderate-income bracket who are able to complete their own tax return.
Students will supervise the FSA site, conduct outreach and promote Beyond Careers FSA program at their school and in the community. This would be a great way for those students to get community-service hours.
Beyond Careers will have students take its Independent Study that utilizes the IRS Link & Learn VITA online, self-paced training to become IRS-Certified volunteers with Beyond Careers FSA.
