On Thursday May 11, 2017, the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) Coalition held their end of year dinner. Southwestern Community Action, Inc. received 3 awards!
Jerry Yeager received the award for Most Returns by a Returning Volunteer, our Milton and Point Pleasant sites received a combined award for Best Overall VITA Sites and for Lowest Rejection Rate!
SCAC's VITA tax preparers are Jerry Yeager, Eric Rogers, Nikki Holcomb and site coordinator Christy Kinder. Total returns: 522 Total refunds: $614,972.00, including $215,261.00 in tax credits for low-income families and seniors.
From Thursday's awards dinner - "This was a very rough tax season for us all. Rejections were high and numbers were flat across the board, mostly due to software issues. But one organization in our coalition really went above and beyond this year with double digit return increases and single digit rejection rates. Thank you, Southwestern Community Action Council, for having the best overall VITA Sites."
Kudos and Thank You to Jerry, Eric, Nikki and Christy for your hard work and dedication to the communities you serve!
