Description:
AccountAbility Minnesota (AAM), a community-based nonprofit organization, is celebrating its 38th year of providing free tax and financial services to low and moderate-income taxpayers and sole proprietors in the Twin Cities’ area and across Greater Minnesota. In 1971, AAM's Taxpayer Services programs were established with the belief that an individual’s access to tax assistance and, by extension, important financial supports applied for through a tax return, should not depend solely on his or her ability to pay for such services.
Highlights of 2009 Statewide Accomplishments:
•17,000 low-income taxpayers received free tax assistance
•$28.8 million in cash refunds returned to low and moderate-income Minnesota families
•700 volunteers gave 20,500 hours to prepare over 37,400 tax returns
•600 sole proprietors received free tax preparation
AAM’s Volunteer Resources: The majority of tax preparation is accomplished by leveraging volunteer resources. AAM has 38 years of experience in recruiting and training volunteers to expertly complete tax returns and maximize tax credits for low-income working individuals, families and small businesses. AAM’s tax volunteers are IRS Certified and among the most highly trained in the country and help accomplish the organization’s goals efficiently and with a human touch.
Mission Statement:
AccountAbility Minnesota is dedicated to providing high quality tax preparation and related financial services to individuals and families of limited means by leveraging volunteer resources and advising and assisting others to provide similar services in their communities.
