WOODLAND HILLS : Pierce Students Offer Tax Help
Accounting students at Pierce College are offering free help in preparing tax forms for people who earned less than $35,000 last year.
The college’s Tax Assistance Center will be open on Wednesdays from 6 to 8:30 p.m. until April 5 in Room 3217 of the Business Administration Building, 6201 Winnetka Ave.
The students will also be on hand on Saturdays until April 8 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Appointments are not necessary.
The program is a cooperative effort between the Internal Revenue Service, various area accounting firms and the center, which was established 21 years ago.
An estimated 1,200 people were assisted last year at the center, which was kept open in the wake of the Northridge earthquake, school officials said.
IRS Commissioner Margaret Richardson journeyed from Washington to present the center with a plaque for its efforts.
For details, call the college at (818) 347-0551.
