Project Scout- Tax preparation

00:00 /

The program starts with guests Jan Shirchild and Dave Andrew, who join host Mathilde Rand in a conversation about the 2021 tax preparation, in particular the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit. They share how tax payers can get information about getting their taxes done for free through Project Scout of the Seniors Council of Santa Cruz and San Benito counties.

Then Katie Fairbairn of the Santa Cruz Community Credit Union joins Mathilde to talk about the involvement of the SCCCU with VITA (Volunteers In Tax Assistance) and why VITA is of vital importance to the community.

About The Author

Mathilde Rand and Laurie Corn

Mathilde Rand: December of 2008, I became part of the First Person Singular Team at KUSP (at that point we were five). During the last months of KUSP in 2016, I was the last hold-out. Now I am providing the same 2-minute program at KSQD, Community Radio, because I wholeheartedly believe in giving community members a voice. I am also the treasurer at KSQD. LAURIE CORN: I am attracted to the process of reducing a meaningful story or opinion to 90 seconds. I am a writer, so editing and honing a piece is a special love of mine. I have joined Mathilde Rand as co-producer of First Person Singular, and I encourage you to share your commentary on the air. This is community radio at its best.
