Understanding the New Tax Law Reform Coastal Bend College hosted Juan M. Carrizales, a senior tax consultant for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on October 16, 2018, at 6 p.m. The presentation was free and open to the public and included information on the new tax laws. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax assistance to people who typically made $54,000 or less, individuals with disabilities and limited English speaking taxpayers. VITA volunteers are IRS-certified volunteers and provide basic income tax return preparation for qualified individuals. Coastal Bend College will once again be providing VITA services to help individuals file their tax returns. Feel free to give us a call about any questions you may have.

I know each of these phenomenal individuals will be successful and achieve great things” said Christi Morgan, English Professor and Phi Theta Kappa: Rho Lambda Adviser. We look forward to seeing the great things the students will continue to do throughout the year.
