Atlanta Workforce Development Agency, Mayor’s Office Of Weed and Seed and the Atlanta Prosperity Campaign Host Press Conference to announce the Kick-Off Of The 2011 Volunteer Tax Assistance Services and Earned Income Tax Credit Benefits Program
| WHO: | Ambassador Andrew Young Deborah Lum, Atlanta Workforce Development Agency Bill Bolling, Atlanta Community Food Bank Fred McElligott, Internal Revenue Service John Hope Bryant, Operation Hope & Others |
| WHAT: | Many families are eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); yet, in Atlanta millions of dollars go unclaimed by eligible families who fail to claim their tax credit. Eligible citizens can obtain this credit through using free tax preparation services at local Volunteer Income Tax (VITA) Centers. This tax credit could mean more money for the tax payer and reduce the amount of taxes owed. EITC dollars have a strong economic impact on local communities. The 2010 tax season resulted in $20.5 million dollars in the City of Atlanta. |
| WHEN: |
Friday, January 27, 2012 10:00 a.m. |
| WHERE: | Atlanta Workforce Development Agency 818 Pollard Boulevard SW Atlanta, GA 30315 (2 blocks south of Turner Field) |
