Abstract
Creighton students in Accounting 343 (Federal Income Tax), members of Beta Alpha Psi BAY, (the accounting honor society)
and members of the Business Law Society (BLS) in the Law School decided to address this situation by providing Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) services in Winnebago itself. Acc 343 students are required to participate in VITA as part of the course, and BAY members have provided VITA services for many years in the Omaha area. Contacts with Ho-Chunk, Inc. (the for-profit economic development subsidiary of the Winnebago Tribe), St. Augustine Indian Mission School, and the IRS led to a plan for Creighton students to provide VITA services in Winnebago.
