Duke Law Students to Provide Free Help to Low-Income Taxpayers

March 26th, 2008 · No Comments

Duke Law students will continue the program that will provide free tax help to low-income taxpayers.  The help will also be available to those who speak Spanish.

The Huliq.com website says, “the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) is one of the Law School’s largest pro bono programs. VITA helped 218 Durham residents during the 2006 tax period, filing claims for $236,192 in federal refunds, $20,093 in state refunds and almost $50,000 in earned income credit.”

About 30 IRS trained students will be available at several sites to assist taxpayers.
