Title: Implementing Quality Review at Your Tax Site: FREE Training Tool Available!
*
Description:* Implementing a quality review process at your tax site is perhaps the single most important step you can take to ensure the accuracy of the tax returns you complete.* Furthermore, the IRS requires that VITA sites conduct a quality review using an approved checklist.* This year, there is a new on-line training available FREE to all VITA sites.* The training will prepare staff and volunteers to be quality reviewers, and includes a customized checklist that has been approved by the IRS.* This Webinar will introduce participants to the training tool, provide a demonstration, and explain how site managers can best use the training to implement a successful quality review process.
