Summary:

As part of the Personal Taxation course Vivian took at her university, she was required to volunteer in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, an IRS program that funds local organizations to train and supervise volunteers who provide free tax return assistance to the elderly and low-income individuals. Initially Vivian felt well prepared for the task until she met clients who used a false social security number to obtain employment. While she wanted to help them file their tax return, she worried about implications resulting from their use of the false number. Would her assistance helping them prepare their tax return make her culpable in their crime? What authoritative literature on accountant responsibility could help her decide what to do? This critical incident is appropriate for a personal tax class at the undergraduate or graduate level.
