UM-Flint School of Management Students Volunteer Free Tax Assistance
UM-Flint School of Management students have a goal of helping 1,000 individuals and families file their income taxes this year.
To meet the goal, 35 students are spending Saturdays preparing Federal, State, and City income tax returns for low income and elderly individuals, and families in Genesee County for free. Certain requirements must be met to use the service.
The service is being provided at the Flint Public Library main branch on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through the end of March, and then on campus at the Riverfront Building on the first two Saturdays in April. The service is a walk-in only, first-come, first-served bases. When the quota is met for the day, clients will no longer be accepted.
