Tax season has never been a celebration for many. Imagine after crunching numbers for the whole day then volunteering to provide tax services to the underprivileged. Well, this is what Peggy Burns do as a site coordinator for the VITA, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program, in Bay City, MI.
As site coordinator, Peggy trains volunteers in the IRS taxwise program; but during the day, Peggy works at Sciloli & Associates. Managing her time between the two jobs shows the amount of concern for others Peggy has.
