TaxSlayer Assignment Ashlynn Rumrill Southern New Hampshire University ACC 350: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Professor Victoria Kaskey February 4, 2024
The intake process begins with greeting the taxpayer and finding out why they are there. The volunteer then explains what the intake/interview and quality process will be like to the taxpayer. The volunteer should then make sure that the taxpayer has brought with them all the necessary documents required to complete the tax return, including the form 13614-C if they have it filled out already if not the volunteer should provide them with a copy. Documents should include a photo ID to verify identity, Social Security numbers for the taxpayer and spouse/all dependents, proof of income, proof of expenses and other life events. Form 13614-C can be completed by the taxpayer at the VITA site before meeting with a volunteer preparer, completed before arriving at the site or if needed can be completed during the interview with the preparer. The 13614-C form can be used, once the volunteer goes through and ensures that all questions are answered ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and not ‘unsure’, to fill out the filing status portion of the 1040.
`While completing the intake/interview process it must be determined whether the tax return is within the scope of the VITA program and what level of certification is required to complete it. If within the program's scope and required certification level determined, the taxpayer may be assigned a volunteer to complete their return. On publication 4012 there is a Scope of Service chart and on-site preparation policies to base assigning returns to preparers. The following 1040 screenshots are based off of the information imputed from the 13614-C form and the documents provided from the taxpayer.
