Tax Time In The Neighborhood


Posted: Friday 26, February 2010

tax sign Oasis volunteers also hold periodic financial classes in the community to help with basic budgeting, credit repair, setting financial goals, and interest education. 

Our VITA program has been very successful and in the past 5 years the following incredible statistics have been tallied:  $1,168,000 was saved in credits or refunds for our clients, $60,5000 was saved additionally by filing returns for free, 705 returns were worked on, and 1,345 hours of work were donated by our volunteers! 

This season we had: over 100 returns completed, 245 volunteer hours, $250,000 saved to families in credits and filing fees.  The average impact per return is $2531. Thank you to Doug Edwards, our site coordinator, and everyone involved!
