Liberty Tax Service Aids Tsunami with free Tax Return Incentive
|
Liberty Tax Service franchise is offering free tax return preparation to those who make a $100 or more donation for tsunami relief through Stop Hunger Now, a relief organization co-founded by Liberty's CEO and Founder John Hewitt. The company launched this initiative in immediate response to a new IRS law enacted January 7th that allows those who donate to the tsunami relief through approved non-profit organizations to claim this as a charitable donation on a 2004 tax return. The contributions must be made by January 31st in order to take advantage of the deduction for 2004. Normally, taxpayers would have to wait until next year to claim this deduction. Tax customers who donate a minimum of $100 to Stop Hunger Now can have their return prepared free at participating Liberty Tax Service offices this tax season. Hewitt has already made substantial financial contributions to the relief effort through Stop Hunger Now. Liberty is now the 3rd largest tax service. In 8 years, Liberty Tax Service has reached the size that it took the other national tax franchises, H&R Block (NYSE:HRB), and Jackson Hewitt (NYSE:JTX) 13 years to reach. "Clearly our President and the IRS have reacted quickly to take a positive step to fuse a public-private sector partnership that can make a dramatic difference for the victims of this catastrophe. With tax season now underway, it's Liberty's prime time to reward the generosity of those contributing to the tsunami relief with free tax preparation, and promote the benefits of this brand new charitable donation tax change." In 1998, John Hewitt co-founded Stop Hunger Now, a 501 © 3 non-profit international relief organization that coordinates immediate distribution of food and life savings aid on a global basis. Stop Hunger Now is directly involved in the relief effort. Its headquarters are in Raleigh, North Carolina.
