are tough, and the promise of a hefty tax return
has families scrambling to file their returns
as quickly and cheaply as possible. In the
new era of thriftiness, CSET’s free tax
preparation service seems almost too good to be
true, especially compared to paid tax preparers,
who charge hundreds to prepare
relatively simple returns.

CSET is working hard to help Americans deal with
our current economic challenges. A major concern
that is affecting millions of consumers is the
alarming rate of home foreclosures and the inevitable
scams that prey upon those who are facing the
loss of their homes. The Federal government is
committed to relieve the growing crisis by getting
the right information out to affected households.
CSET's Foreclosure Counselor, Maria Villa, participates
on the Facing the Mortgage Crisis Partners &
Advisory Council. This council is a partnership
among many different media outlets such as Radio
and TV, as well as local non-profits/agencies
that provide direct services to clients facing
foreclosure. KVPT (Valley Public Television) hosts
the council meetings. To learn more about these
efforts you may visit http://www.valleymortgagecrisis.org.
