4 INTRODUCTION Welcome! Congratulations on becoming a Center for Economic Progress (CEP) volunteer tax preparer. You re joining a community of over 90,000 volunteers nationwide who prepare over 3.5 million tax returns a year. You ll learn a lot, meet wonderful people, and contribute to the well-being of your community. Thank you for your service. CEP Vision The Center for Economic Progress envisions an America of shared prosperity, where all working families can access the financial opportunities they need to succeed. CEP Mission The Center for Economic Progress (CEP) helps low-income, working families as a trusted provider of tax and financial services. Everything we do, from direct service to informing public policy, improves the financial stability of those we serve. CEP Services CEP provides income-eligible workers with free, high quality tax preparation and an alternative to paid tax preparers. We serve families who make less than 55,000 and individuals who make less than 30,000. Based on those income guidelines, we can help one in three Illinois residents. Through our tax clinic, we provide free, professional representation to low-wage taxpayers facing an IRS controversy. We also offer tax training for small businesses to establish sound business practices, and to build their knowledge of record keeping and self-employment tax laws. We promote financial education and sound money practices helping cut ties to predatory financial services. We provide year-round workshops and one-on-one financial coaching to help members set financial goals; create spending plans; access safe and affordable bank products like banks accounts and small dollar loans; and review and correct credit reports and improve credit scores. CEP is a non-partisan organization. 2 TRAINING PRACTICE PROBLEMS 2019

5 BASIC TAX PREPARATION 3 AGENDA AND WHAT TO EXPECT Class Agenda 1. CEP Introduction 2. Overview of resources available 3. Dear Shirley Mary Lake discussion 4. Mary Lake Tax Preparation 5. Dear Shirley Benjamin Spring discussion 6. The Certification Practice Problems and Process What to Expect This class will give you hands-on experience working with our tax preparation software, TaxWise Online, to complete a sample tax return. We will look at the scenario of a typical client, Mary Lake, and discuss how to use our resources to answer her questions and correctly file her tax return. After Mary Lake s scenario, we will look at another typical client, Benjamin Spring, who has some questions about his Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). We ll talk about what ITINs are, how they affect a tax return, and how to communicate when talking about them. We will teach you how to certify as a volunteer tax preparer and will even complete a few practice problems to prepare you for taking the certification test. Finally, we will provide three practice problems for you to prepare on your own. At the end of this course, you will be ready to pass the Basic (or Advanced) Tax Preparer certification test and then volunteer as a tax preparer at one of our tax sites. You will be able to navigate the resources available at your tax site to answer questions, you will know how to use TaxWise Online, and you will be familiar with typical client scenarios that we see. We highly encourage and expect that you complete your online training before attending this class. If for some reason, you were unable to finish the online training, please let your instructor know. Please note, you will not be able to sign up for a shift at a tax site without completing the online training so if you have not already completed it, please do so at your earliest convenience. We promise it will be helpful and engaging! TRAINING PRACTICE PROBLEMS

6 OVERVIEW OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE Publication 4012, VITA Volunteer Resource Guide This book is a comprehensive resource published by IRS specially for VITA volunteer tax preparers. This publication includes information about relevant tax law and provides easy to use visuals and maps to answer your tax related questions. Please note that the tax preparation software explanations refer to the TaxSlayerPRO tax preparation software, which CEP does not use. Rather, the CEP uses the TaxWise Online software so these sections of the 4012 will not be relevant to you as a tax preparer. For specific questions about the TaxWise Online software, ask your instructor or site manager. Form 6744, VITA/TCE Volunteer Assistor s Test/Retest This booklet, also developed by IRS, contains the certification tests and retests for VITA tax preparers. We recommend that you take whichever test you decide in this booklet first before taking the test online. Note: Volunteers can access the electronic version of all IRS forms and publications at You Can Do It! Volunteer Resource Guide This booklet is developed by CEP staff specifically for you. It contains information on tax law, CEP s financial services, and CEP s site procedures. Most volunteers find this to be the most useful resources available. Put your name on it and don t go to a tax site without it! Study Guide Also developed by CEP staff, this study guide helps volunteers prepare for and pass the tax preparation certification tests. Worried about the test? Carefully review this guide and you should be more than ready to pass the test. The study guide for the basic certification test is at the end of this document, and the study guide for the advanced certification test can be found on the volunteer resource hub. Publication 4491, VITA/TCE Training Guide This booklet, also developed by IRS is the IRS comprehensive training guide broken down by topic. This resource is normally available as an electronic copy, but given the tax law changes the IRS elected to print the resource for all volunteers! Volunteer Resource Hub Volunteers can access a volunteer resource hub organized and moderated by experienced volunteers at This resource hub will be a collection of tools and resources that will help you make sense of complicated tax law and answer any of your questions. If you would like to post something you feel might be helpful to the CEP volunteer community, please hub@ecomonicprogress.org. 4 TRAINING PRACTICE PROBLEMS 2019

7 HERE S SHIRLEY! Taxes can be complex and confusing and taxpayers often have lots of questions. Shirley is CEP s resident tax expert and during today s training you will be asked to help Shirley answer some letters sent in by a couple taxpayers. These exercises will give you a chance to hone your skills and get ready to answer the kinds of questions that you will be asked at your tax site. Soon you, too, will be able to answer tax questions! LETTER #1 FROM MARY LAKE Dear Shirley, I m a single mom with three children, ages 17, 8, and 6. They have always lived with me and I provide all of their support. My ex, Donald, moved out and left us for good around Halloween, 2016, but I can t afford an attorney to get a divorce. My kids saw their dad only a couple times last year when he brought them birthday gifts. My neighbor took a tax class last summer and she tells me that since Donald and I are still technically married, we have to file our taxes together. I don t think that s fair. I never talk to Donald anymore and I m not even sure how to get a hold of him. What should I do about filing my taxes for Thanks, Mary Lake P.S. I ran into Don s mom at the store last week and she said that Don has already filed his taxes and he claimed my six-year old and my eight-year-old and he s going to get a really big refund. Discussion Questions: What questions should Shirley ask Mary to clarify the situation? What is Mary s correct filing status? Are Mary s children her qualifying children for the EITC? For the child tax credit? For the credit for other dependents? What advice do you think Shirley should give Mary in this situation? TRAINING PRACTICE PROBLEMS

8 THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS Once you have completed this Basic Tax Preparation 3 course and prepared all the practice problems, you are prepared to take and pass the Basic (or Advanced) Test! Congratulations! Taking either test is the last step in the training process. Once you take and pass the test, you will be certified to serve as a tax preparer at any one of our CEP tax sites. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is my Unique 6-Digit Code, and when do I need to use the Code? The IRS s certification tests require you to complete several tax returns. The example returns include social security numbers and/or federal ID numbers. The IRS will provide the first three digits of these numbers, but you will need to enter the last six digits. Because there will be hundreds of CEP volunteers using our tax software at the same time, each volunteer will receive a Unique 6-Digit Code to complete the tax returns. You will use your unique six digit code you received during the Basic Tax Prep 3 class to replace the last six digits of each sample Social Security Number or Federal ID number. For example, replace 00-xxxx with your six digit code when completing the practice returns and when completing the certification tests. If you misplaced your Unique 6-Digit Code contact CEP s Volunteer Engagement at or volunteer@economicprogress.org to obtain your 6-Digit Code. Can I complete the test online? Yes, the Basic and Advanced Certification Tests are online at: economicprogress.exceedlms.com/student/plan. This enables you to submit your answers electronically as well as save, print and sign your Volunteer Agreement. It is recommended that volunteers take the test in the physical Form 6744 Test Book to answer all of the questions and prepare practice returns in CEP s Practice Lab first, then log into the test at economicprogress.exceedlms.com/student/plan, enter your answers, and electronically submit the test. Can I start the test online and then come back to finish it later? Yes, you can start the test, save your entered responses, log-out, come back and finish the test later. You are able to go back to previous pages once you have already viewed them. Even if you selected answers to the questions on those pages, you are able to go back and view the page. It is recommended that you take your time while taking the certification test. If you need to take a break, be sure to save your answers and log back into the test once you have the time. Do I have to take the Basic Exam before I take the Advanced Exam? No, the Advanced Certification exam includes scenarios from the Basic Certification exam. You are able to compete just the Advanced Certification if you would like. However, it is recommended that new volunteers complete the Basic Certification exam before completing the Advanced Certification if they would like extra practice. What if I do not pass a test on my first attempt? You are allowed one additional attempt for each certification test. The test questions are randomized from the pool of questions from the regular test and retest. The result is a different test on each attempt. The retest questions are reworded versions of the regular test questions. The Basic and Advance Retest are accessible through: economicprogress.exceedlms.com/student/plan. How will I access the tax preparation software? CEP will utilize the TaxWise Online software to prepare practice and the IRS test tax returns.

24 LETTER #2 FROM BENJAMIN SPRING Dear Shirley, Last year I got an ITIN number from the IRS and this is my first year filing a tax return. I am single and I have a twoyear-old son who lived with me all year. I didn t get him an ITIN since he was born in Chicago and he already has a social security number. I noticed that the W-2 that my employer gave me does not have my ITIN number on it. There is some other number in the space, employee s social security number. Which number should I use for my taxes? Thanks, Benjamin Spring Discussion Questions: What is an ITIN number? And what purpose does it serve taxpayers? Which identifying number should Ben use on his tax return? Can Ben claim his son as his qualifying child for the EITC? For the child tax credit? For the credit for other dependents? 22 TRAINING PRACTICE PROBLEMS 2019

26 SAMPLE CERTIFICATION TEST QUESTIONS Read Basic Scenario 5, Mathew Rice and Ashley Tufts, on page 29 of Form 6744 the certification test book and prepare to answer the questions. First, think about this family, one taxpayer at a time. Mathew is single. He earned 13,000. He has two small children who lived with him all year. His children did not provide over half of their own support. He did not pay any of the household expenses. Ashley is married, but did not live with her spouse and doesn t want to file a joint return. She earned 27,000. She paid all of the household expenses. She has no children. She is not related to anyone in the household. Got that straight in your head? Next, assume you are preparing Mathew s tax return. What is Mathew s filing status? Why? Who can Mathew claim as a qualifying child dependent? Who can Mathew claim as a qualifying relative dependent? Who can Mathew claim as a qualifying child for the EITC? Who can Mathew claim as a qualifying child for the child tax credit? Can Mathew claim the credit for other dependents? Then, assume you are preparing Ashley s tax return. What is Ashley s filing status? Who can Ashley claim as a qualifying child dependent? Who can Ashley claim as a qualifying relative dependent? Who can Ashley claim as a qualifying child for the EITC? Who can Ashley claim as a qualifying child for the child tax credit? Can Ashley claim the credit for other dependents? Now, you are ready to answer test questions 9 and 10. Consult your resources. No one remembers all these rules! Did you find answers in Publication 4012? If so, what page(s)? Is any of this covered in the You Can Do It? If so, what page(s)? 24 TRAINING PRACTICE PROBLEMS 2019
