The Wharton School is proud to offer the Academically Based Community Service (ABCS) course ACCT/BEPP 2110 for the third year, providing undergraduate students with the opportunity to become basic tax certified and volunteer 40+ hours during tax season. This initiative, in partnership with the Campaign for Working Families (CWF), helps low- and no-income Philadelphians with tax preparation, ensuring they access the tax credits they deserve. Last year, an estimated $600 million in unclaimed funds was left on the table by eligible Philadelphians.
New for this year: Penn staff and alumni are invited to join this impactful program!
