Accounting students to give free tax aid

Twelve

students are participating in a class being offered for the first time

at the Mays Business School at Texas A&M University to help provide

free tax preparation.

The accounting course, "Special Topics in

Tax -- Federal Taxation of Low Income Filers: Socio-Economic Forces,"

provides volunteers through the United Way of Brazos Valley to offer

free tax preparation and filing assistance to low-income people in the

area.

The students also are traveling to the nearby communities of Navasota, Brenham, Somerville and Madisonville.
