Here is the Power Point
Hello, My intentions for these trainings is to go over tax topics you might encounter at a VITA/TCE tax site. To explain things in a way that I hope you understand-- while not overwhelming you. There is a lot a of information, and we really mostly do simple returns, but I would be doing a disservice to you and our clients if I didn't make you at least aware of those 'exceptions to the rules' those things we have to watch for. Remember you do not need to be, nor are you expected to be, an expert. Just know when you need to ask for help, and how to use your PUB 4012. Have a great tax year!
TIP: PAUSE VIDEOs TO MAKE NOTES OR WHEN I ASK QUESTIONS SO YOU HAVE TIME TO PROCESS IT BEFORE HEARING THE ANSWER.

Please note: I, Mary Meador, AM NOT a certified accountant or tax law expert. I volunteer with VITA providing free tax preparation for individuals and families whose income is less than $66,000 a year. We deal with simple returns at our sites.  I cannot guarantee the accuracy of all the information on this site as tax laws change and I may not have a clear understanding of complicated issues. I am trying to provide basic tax preparation information for our volunteers to get started--remember Publication 4012 is your go-to resource for questions, as well as irs.gov and Publication 17.  I hope you find this information useful and easy to understand. Thanks for being a VITA/TCE volunteer!
**I am human, so if you find a mistake, please let me know so I can fix it--we are all in this together**
