In preparation for this tax season, New Ventures Maine collaborated with the University of Maine at Augusta’s Accounting Program to recruit UMA students as volunteer tax preparers for CA$H Maine’s VITA tax sites.
Coming from the accounting department, Leah Kovitch was not new to tax preparation when she joined CA$H Maine‘s volunteer team. Alongside her volunteer work, Leah works as a professional tax preparer, attends graduate school at USM, and is enrolled in the Accounting Program at UMA. Leah shares her unique perspective on what it’s like to be a volunteer tax preparer.
