South Coast Business Employment Corporation (SCBEC)

Vita program for tax return:this project enables the volunteer income tax assistance (vita) program to extend services to underserved populations in hardest-to-reach areas, both urban and non-urban; increase the capacity to file returns electronically; heighten quality control; enhance training of volunteers; and improve significantly the accuracy rate of returns prepared at vita sites. For 2023 tax season 1430 tax returns were completed and with the assistance of 14 volunteers. Because of the efforts of our splendid volunteers and the faithful support of our sponsors we were able to get over $1.1 million into the hands of the taxpayers that need it the most.
