Company description: AccountAbility Minnesota (AAM), a community-based nonprofit organization, is celebrating its 38th year of providing free tax and financial services to low and moderate-income taxpayers and sole proprietors in the Twin Cities' area and across Greater Minnesota. In 1971, AAM's Taxpayer Services programs were established with the belief that an individual's access to tax assistance and, by extension, important financial supports applied for through a tax return, should not depend solely on his or her ability to pay for such services.
Highlights of 2009 Statewide Accomplishments:
- 17,000 low-income taxpayers received free tax assistance
- $28.8 million in cash refunds returned to low and moderate-income Minnesota families
- 700 volunteers gave 20,500 hours to prepare over 37,400 tax returns
