Liberty Tax Service believes that education provides options – and options provide empowerment. We realize that our new immigrant neighbors, documented and undocumented alike, often feel disempowered when they enter the United States, and unfortunately view their financial futures as limited. There are many misconceptions and extensive misinformation infiltrating our new immigrant communities that are creating unnecessary problems for them. Liberty Tax Service has taken a stand by providing FREE financial and fiscal education that will help our Hispanic communities better understand and more easily integrate into our mainstream economy. Most importantly, all of Liberty’s FREE courses qualify for college credits at the University of Phoenix should our students choose to proceed with their education. But even if they don’t, just having a Certificate of Completion for college accredited courses brings a level of self esteem to many of our Hispanic neighbors that is priceless!

To make a difference in Hispanic communities nationwide by providing free professional tax education and fulfillment assistance, eliminate the confusion and misinformation about the various issues surrounding taxes for the undocumented immigrant, i.e. ITINs (Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers), dependent qualifications, allowable tax credits, etc. We even provide ITIN application services for FREE at all of our Hispanic Ser vices Seal of Excelle nce stores – the only tax company that is providing this service at no charge!

To provide accurate information and education on vital topics that help our new and “recent” immigrants, easily and comfortably, enter our mainstream economy by providing them with FREE education relative to: The U. S. tax system, and classes on Fiscal and Financial literacy. We also provide fundamental education: How to read your paycheck stub; How to open a bank account; Why do you need a savings account?; The importance of paying on the due date, etc. Additionally, we provide courses to help our new immigrant neighbors learn how to turn their “contractor services” into a small business; information on new home ownership; and by request, career specific seminars addressing how to create a business and/or marketing plan; how to dress and present yourself as a professional, etc.

We provide all of our Hispanic staff with FREE education and training so that they can, in turn, reach out to their local Hispanic communities “con corazón” (with heart) and provide them with the “hands-on” assistance that will enrich their lives.

The initiative is led by the corporate Hispanic Services Team which consists of Latinos from the Caribbean to Mexico and Central/South America. Our Hispanic team understands the issues experienced by new immigrants and is committed to helping the advancement of our Latino communities.

“Often, our new immigrant neighbors feel disempowered and view their financial futures as very limited. Our goal is to help them “spread their wings” within a professional environment by providing them with job opportunities within the company,” explains Martee Pierson, Liberty’s Director of Diversity. “Liberty provides Hispanic communities nationwide with a learning environment wherein they can gain computer skills, learn tax laws and processes, professional interpreter skills and ethics, and most importantly, through our FREE education programs, they can realize they have “options” for the future!”

With over 3,200 offices nationwide and in Canada, Liberty Tax Service’s FREE Educational Seminar Program is anchored by its commitment to education both internally and for our Hispanic communities. Our Franchisees must take a 22 hour training course that covers Hispanic culture to ensure they can properly service our Latino clients. Once they have completed this course and hired Spanish bilinguals to work with our Hispanic clients, the office then receives the HISPANIC SERVICES SEAL OF EXCELLENCE that announces they are trained to accommodate the needs of the Hispanic community.

Una Familia Sin Fronteras has provided educational seminars for Mexican Consulates and Plazas Comunitarias (neighborhood learning centers) across the United States. We have also been the first private company to be sanctioned by IME (The Institute for Mexicans in the Exterior), Mexico’s top foreign affairs ministry, as an educational partner. Additionally, we are the first private company to be included in Hispanic adult educational outreach programs through school districts such as the Los Angeles Unified School District (the second largest school district in the U.S.), Saddleback Unified School District in Mission Viejo, and Northside Independent School District in San
Antonio, to name just a few. It is because of the commitment and value Una Familia Sin Fronteras brings to the Hispanic community that we have been embraced so graciously by the Mexican Consulates and so many other prestigious organizations and school districts.

Through a special alliance with University of Phoenix, course participants can now earn college credits for ALL of Liberty’s college-level training programs, including Tax School, the Hispanic Services Webcast series and our unique Interpreter Course – all of which are provided free-of-charge to the Hispanic community. This special alliance is yet another element of Una Familia Sin Fronteras which offers the Hispanic community a wide range of services through Liberty’s many associations with national and local non-profit organizations.
