A. J. Moore Academy in Waco, Texas, knows all about volunteering. A group of students, led by Baylor University's accounting staff, participated in the VITA Program. Over the last ten years, the program generated refunds to Waco taxpayers of over $15,249,448. A couple of years ago, A.J. Moore Academy's faculty and students moved to University High School in Waco.
Look who's doing "Moore for Your Future?"
A.J. Moore Academy provides post-secondary education in engineering, business, entrepreneurship, and technology careers. Their school motto, "Moore for Your Future" is not only their motto, but has become reality for the students there that participate in the VITA Program!
Being rather unique in having students prepare the returns, the press, radio and TV have used this as public service announcements throughout a 6 county "Heart of Texas" area. To date, the program has generated refunds to Waco taxpayers of over $15,249,448; and using a statewide average of $150 charged per return by paid preparers, the program has saved Waco taxpayers over $1,308,200. After hearing of the free site on the broadcast media, taxpayers have come from over 100 miles to have their returns prepared.
The Academies' VITA Program began January 20, 2005. The Academy of Finance students were recruited and trained in the classroom over a 6 week period. The students were trained using IRS training materials and a training version of TaxWise to allow the students to become proficient at preparing income tax returns.
The site operates in the school library with the TaxWise software loaded on the school network. As the program has matured, the seniors or more experienced students at the high school act as quality reviewers; the juniors prepare returns; and the sophomores act as greeter/screeners and facilitators.
In 2008, Baylor University's accounting staff became interested in the program and certified a group of 12 students to assist as quality reviewers. By 2009, the Baylor student count jumped to 32 students and 4 professors. These more experienced students served as quality reviewers and assisted with the general site operation.
The school principal, who is in attendance every evening, is the program's leading supporter and one of the most necessary elements in the successful operation of the site. The school's IT director is another vital link in the program's success by being available during operational hours to ensure the computer equipment and printers are fully operational. Prior to the site opening each year, the principal buys T-shirts for all participating students which are green (school color) and shows "A. J. Moore SWAT Team" (SWAT-Serving Waco Area Taxpayers).
A. J. Moore Academy of Finance in Waco, Texas was named the No. 1 top performing student-operated VITA site in America for 2011. In 2014, student volunteers at the University High School/A.J. Moore Academies VITAsite prepared more than 2,200 returns and its VITA customers received $4.4 million in tax refunds, including $1.6 million in EITC.
