Detroit high school students offering free tax preparation services

Students become IRS-certified

DETROIT – Detroit High School students are helping make tax season a bit easier.

A program at King High School and Southeastern High School allowed students to become IRS-certified tax preparers. The students have spent four weeks learning how to prepare taxes.

Those students are now offering free tax preparation services for people submitting individual tax returns.

The forms are reviewed by a certified adult tax supervisor after the students complete them.

The free service will be offered through April 2.
