Question

Sue, a vita/tce site coordinator, was watching the local news when she saw aaron, a new tax law-certified volunteer, in a story about several bank employees being arrested for suspicion of embezzlement. she saw aaron being led out of the bank in handcuffs. three days later, sue is shocked when she sees aaron show up at the site ready to volunteer, apparently out on bond. she pulls aaron aside and explains that his arrest on suspicion of embezzlement could have a negative effect on the site and therefore she must ask him to leave the site. sue uses the external referral process to report the details to irs-spec by sending an email to [email protected] did sue take appropriate actions as the site coordinator?

Answer 1

Yes, Sue has made the appropriate action.

Since the target of the volunteer activities are the one that does not necessarily understand taxation process (Such as elderly), it is important to report potential volunteers who are under suspicion for criminality. Both the code and the email address for this report is already appropriate
