In a quiet computer lab in the basement of Michigan Tech’s Academic Office Building, an important learning opportunity is taking place that has immediate, real-world consequences. College of Business students stationed at their laptops are huddled with community members, cheerfully and efficiently tackling the complexities of tax filing. There’s a low hum of conversation as they work through W-2s and 1099s, using official Internal Revenue Service (IRS) software.
Accounting majors provide FREE income tax preparation assistance for students and members of the community who could not otherwise afford the services of a CPA tax professional. This service has been offered at Michigan Tech for over 20 years.
