yo yo yo yo yo hey it's CPA strength back again with another video let me
just say past week was rough I will not be rewarded for any a negative energy I
just kind of found that out and that's good because I don't want to have it so
I'm feeling real good this video is going to be about the vitae program
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program ran by the IRS
I believe there's over like six thousand locations serving I think low-income
elderly people with disabilities where you go they have like libraries they had
the one where I worked at was at a Florida Atlantic University campus part
of my college class but you would have all you have volunteers and then you
have like a site leader for the vitae program and you have people from the
community that need help with their tax returns and I think there's like if you
make less than fifty thousand dollars you can come in and get your tax return
done so you'd get your tax return done by volunteers which I was a volunteer
one year in the very first year I did tax returns 2000 it was 2012 it was like
the spring spring semester of 2012 it was my senior year
during taxis and so it was tax year 2011 it's kind of weird when you're doing tax
returns the year the year you're in you do the previous your tax return so it's
kind of like accounting - you're always working in the past which is weird
because I I'm always like hey I live I live in the past too much I got to get
out of the past but I'm you know like it's totally off track but I've been
like a blessing and a curse my addictive personality you know it's a curse when I
when I am an addict towards negative things but then when I get addicted to
positive things it's a blessing same as my memory I have a really crazy memory
where I remember like everything that happens in my life and so it's kind of
like you know everyone's like get out of the past but I can't sometimes anyways I
was totally weird so anyways yeah I'm just gonna I just I guess it's a curse
because I don't like it sometimes but it's a blessing because I'll tell
stories of my life and I want to try to perfect my my storytelling abilities and
hopefully maybe give someone some hope with this video anyway let's get back to
the fighting program which is people from the community that need help with
their tax returns come in to the volunteer place wherever it might be and
then you have a volunteer who has to pass a bunch of tests and stuff to be
able to be a volunteer there so they have some knowledge and they're not the
most complicated returns that that you do the bracelet they're very you know
their basic returns that people could bring the vitae program and you would do
it and then you have a like a quality checker
I guess a more seasoned tax preparer is like a quality checker and then there's
like a site I think the site coordinator and I mean I think that quality checker
and the site coordinator Mike it I think they get paid not really sure anyways I
had no idea it was my senior year of college I was about to get an accounting
degree I had two more some I had this spring semester then the false then the
summer semester and I was done with college and I was going to get an
accounting degree a grand if I could pass these last couple classes and I
really didn't know what I was going to do because I really didn't feel like I
was not good at debits and credits yet I had not formulated dca ler I struggled
with my accounting classes I did okay with my texts a couple tax classes but I
really struggled with federal tax too and the thing is they don't really
there's not much in my class I took federal income tax one federal income
tax - in college and they did little little blips about personal income taxes
and I try only done a couple tax returns in my whole life for me and I was like
35 so tell us you kind of kind of weird life I've lived anyways I didn't know
what I was gonna do after college I was gonna having a kind of the agree but
okay so I'll be an accountant but what does that even mean I'm gonna apply to
be an accountant somewhere and I'm gonna how to do accounting like really weird
and I felt like I talked to another guy hi and I was like he was like do you
feel like you don't know anything I was like yeah I don't know anything that
seems like a common theme amongst accounting students I don't know maybe
just people that I talked to I don't know
so I had to take I had to take an accounting class and one of the ones
available was personal income tax and I was like oh ok I need to take that one
and as I got an upper echelon of classes because I wanted to get the 150 credits
without getting a bachelor's degree would sort No
100 and I didn't want to have to get a masters I take all any class that was
out there for really accounting and it was this personal income tax assistance
class part of the class we did invite a program I had a really cool teacher
who's from Bulgaria and I don't know he's just really cool and so took the
class and it was kind of the class was prepping up to do tax returns and then
we had to pass tests administered online but given by the IRS to be able to be a
volunteer there I can remember being so nervous my first day I was so nervous I
feel like I'm dealing people's money here like you know I'm wearing my money
surely money is super important to me I know it's kind of crass and stuff but
that's all I really care about I feel like with money everything else comes
mm-maybe but love but I feel like I don't get much love anyways so where
does he get it I had no idea what I was gonna do I was so nervous so nervous and
then you know I did I think for tax returns that first day at vitae program
and I don't know it just felt good to like I just felt good to help people out
like you know I was helping people you know and it's like before I had done a
tax return somebody it was like oh I'm an
accountant I don't even know what that is it's like hey maybe I'll be a tax
preparer because everyone needs a tax preparer and so that was during the
vitae program that was the first time that I thought that I could be a tax
preparer and then so I graduated and the next year I did H&R Block and then the
next year I worked at a for the next two - tax seasons I worked as a small
accounting CPA firm I got the job because I was a tax preparer H&R Block
and I knew I wanted to be a tax preparer because of the vitae program so the
value program got me and then you know I got my CPA license at my at my job that
I worked under CPI and now I've worked two seasons at dorten CPA LLC as a tax
preparer slash accountant slash payroll guy I mean if someone would ask me I
said yeah I'm a CPA but it's like what do you do as a CPA man I'm a tax repair
like I love attacks like I love like that's my ish like I get lost in a good
tax return
I have you know like aid it makes me feel so fulfilled when I have a couple
single mothers and our cloth down our clients and you know both of them work
hard you know but there's two to two of women that I'm thinking of specifically
that that work hard that have kids one of my clients and I and I get them back
maximum returns and I feel like you know I want to go the extra mile for him
because I know they work hard and and
you know being a single parent is hard and and and I mean I got I got these
ladies back thousands of dollars this year and then I saw and then like I saw
one of them got I got one of them a real nice return and then a couple days later
I saw her with her kids at like um like Disney theme park or something and like
you know just made me feel so good
so the vita' program gave me all that but I just want to say it was a really
nice program and it was a really nice program for the community so and and and
and anybody can be a volunteer there so I would say like if you have some time
if you don't know what to do with yourself if you think maybe you would
want to learn more about tax returns volunteer for the brinded program just
type in Viton on google search and you'll you'll find out all about it
there's my location near you I changed my life because I found something that
I'm passionate about and uh you know a tax return and I feel like people work
hard for their money and I'm trying to get them back the most they can
you know before before I and like I said I was lost I mean I was about to
graduate and I didn't know what I was gonna do you know it spent almost time
and money on the counting degree so maybe I say this because you know try
try that extra class try something new you you really never know you got to
have an open mind with things I say this because like recently I did a video on
why I wanted to be a CPA and stuff and it did real good and I think it's
telling a story and so it seems like oh started at college Community College and
then end up a small business I guess successful small business owner with the
CPA license how did that you know it wasn't like oh that's what I want to do
it's going to be all gravy train I mean there was so many bumps and bruises on
the way and you know three steps forward two steps back you know it's kind of how
it was there is for me and so I was thinking you know how did I get from
Community College to successful small business owner CPA license how did I go
from drug addict you know how did I go from mental institution with a meth
habit to that so there's so many things in the middle and I thought a very
critical part was vitae program and if I would have never took this vitae if I
would never took the personal income tax class in 2012 I wouldn't be here now
you know if I would have never taken the vitae program I would have never known
that this is really fulfilling for me and I really
doing personal tax returns I would have never known that so hey if you're an
accounting student you have no idea what you're doing you don't feel like you
know you feels maybe somewhat like me you've taken a federal income tax class
so you haven't you kind of liked it there was just a little teeny section on
income tax you've never thought about maybe you could be a personal income tax
professional I'm here to tell you you can it's changed my life and so that's
that's about it for this video I hope you enjoyed it thank you for everyone
who comments I especially like when I'm being negative and I get a constructive
comment or whatever I got sometimes I don't like my first
but I do like um I just ordered two books on recommendations from you guys
so I can't wait to get those read them do a review on them this life is a
blessing and let's make the most of it alright
