Fifth Third Bank teams up with Metro-St. Louis Community Tax Coalition

Fifth Third Bank will share the Fifth Third Financial
Empowerment Mobile (eBus) with MCTC at four local sites. Fifth Third will help
individuals review their credit reports and discuss budgeting and savings tips
while MCTC’s IRS-trained Preparers will help individuals accurately prepare and
e-file their income taxes. All services are free of charge. Royce Sutton, Fifth
Third Bank Community and Economic Development Director stated, “Many families
are dealing with financial hardship from job loss and some have been victimized
by untrained, high cost income tax preparers. We couldn’t think of a better
time for the Fifth Third Bank eBus and MCTC to forge a partnership that will
help families maximize their eligible deductions and tax credits while having
the benefit of obtaining sound financial advice, at no cost.”

Participants can also learn about the Doorways to Dreams
Fund. Doorways to Dreams is sponsoring a nationwide sweepstakes to encourage
saving at tax time. Beginning this 2014 tax season, all filers age 18 and over
who are due a federal tax refund and save a portion of that refund using IRS
Form 8888 can enter the promotion to win weekly prizes and a grand prize of
$25,000.
