We
have been talking about using our membership with Gifts In Kind to get donations
to offer as incentives for people to pay their loans in full. I would also
stress, however, that it's very important for our borrowers to put some of their
refund in savings in case of emergency (including car
repair).
I
advise you contact your local IRS representative about where folks can get free
tax prep assistance. If you judge the assistance is adequate (volunteers skills
may vary), you could advise your borrowers accordingly, and steer them away from
the (over) pay services and refund anticipation loans.

It is income tax time and I am interested in any strategies you have in collecting income tax from clients to pay-off their loans. Of course, this would greatly help in the collection process.
