NC Taxpayer Assistance Center
…connecting you with vital tax services in North Carolina
Advocacy
The TAC conducts anonymous testing of practicing preparers and
financial lending institutions impacting the finances of regional
households, and where necessary, organizes the community in
actions to correct any practices deemed corrupt. The TAC also
serves as a training and testing site for new tax preparers and LITC
outreach/controversy volunteers to ensure a competent, compliant
workforce serving the community.

Using real case studies from the VITA site and LITC, coupled with
in-depth research conducted CRA-NC staff, The NC-TAC better
informs policy decisions.

Through these combined advocacy activities, the public has an
opportunity not only to participate in the advocacy itself, but to
collectively benefit from its successes.
The NC-TAC is a coalition effort between The Community Reinvestment Association of North Carolina, Duke Law School, NCCU School of Law, and NC Legal Aid, and
numerous other Community Organizations, City, County and State Agencies dedicated to assisting NC taxpayers in utilizing available tax services in and around Durham.
