TaxBrain(TM) Provides Smart Online Service to Ensure Much-Needed Refunds Are Quickly Received
TRACY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Sep 23, 2003--Petz Enterprises, Inc. (PEI) producers of the popular TaxBrain (TM) Online Tax Center (www.taxbrain.com), urge the growing number of working students to file their taxes using the Internet, subsequently speeding-up receipt of desperately needed tax refunds.
Citing rising tuition fees as a reason why greater numbers of students than ever before are working to supplement student aid, Leroy Petz Sr., President of Petz Enterprises commented, ''More and more students are having to work to get through college. Recent figures produced by The State Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG) indicated that of all full-time students, 74% worked while attending school. We believe that this figure has and will continue to rise as the ratio of aid to tuition continues to change. The good news of course, is that most college students have Internet access.''
The report, based on the National Postsecondary Student Aid Survey (NPSAS), indicates that 63% of all full-time working students who worked 2-plus hours per week believed they could not afford college if they did not work.
''As a consequence of forced employment, increasing numbers of students have money deducted from their hard-earned wages - money they can only reclaim by filing a tax return (typically a form 1040EZ),'' he continued.
Petz added, ''TaxBrain enables students with Internet access to complete and file a tax return in an average of thirty minutes. Our system calculates any federal tax refund due to the individual, which is then received within ten working days either by check or electronic transfer. This enables students to plan on tax refunds and receive their money at the first opportunity.''
