More CPA Tax Help for Hurricane Victims

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and American Association of Attorneys--CPAs have partnered with the Internal Revenue Service to provide free tax help to qualifying taxpayers affected by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita or Wilma. This partnership, to be accomplished through the VITA and TCE programs, will allow taxpayers with income under $38,000 a higher quality of free tax preparation assistance than is often available including the ability to handle moderately complex transactions. In certain locations, this aid may also be available through FEMA disaster recovery centers.

Congratulations and applause to the men and women providing this assistance. This should help to burnish the reputation of CPAs.
