2003 Tax Preparation Assistance program. Rob Lang,
Partner-in-Charge of Tax Services, KPMG and Chairman
of Tax-Aid; Susan Leal, San Francisco City Treasurer

Tax-Aid, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, provides
free, professional income tax preparation assistance
to low-income families in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Tax-Aid helps thousands of local residents file their
taxes, and educates these residents about eligibility
