MSU accounting students complete hundreds of tax returns for students, community members

Accounting students from the Montana State University Jake Jabs College of Business and Entrepreneurship helped more than 463 individuals in the community complete their tax returns this year – for free.

The approximately 25 students who prepared the returns did so as participants in the national Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, or VITA, program. The program has two goals: to help people in the community by providing free tax preparation services for individuals making less than $58,000, and to provide aspiring accountants practice in their profession.
