In an attempt to mislead officials and tax preparers throughout the state, Impact Alabama (the special interest group who sabotaged the Tax Industry with a fraudulent investigative report in an all out effort to get their own hand written Legislation passed in the state) put out a letter to officials and industry professionals noting that they had no intentions of using any money from the fees paid in by Tax Offices to the Licensing Board they were attempting to create.  Their press release and letter crusaded attempted to discredit NITPA and it's president J.C. Snowden by claiming Snowden was making false allegations regarding their interest and that they had never had any desire to use monies from fees paid in by the newly proposed "Alabama Tax Payer Protection and Assistance Act". 

Throughout this entire process, Impact Alabama and their head crusader Mr. Stephen Black have done nothing but mislead people with half truths and out right lies.  Their attempt to say our organization wasn't telling the truth about their real intentions is, humorous to say the least.  We have clear evidence generated by them that clearly states their intentions to use those funds paid by tax offices in an effort to get matching Grant funds from the newly enhanced VITA Grant program.  A copy of this can be read on our site by visiting www.nitpa.com.  We've posted it on the front page because we want the public, the officials and the professional tax preparers in Alabama to know the truth and to realize just how close they came to being controlled by this special interest group who was willing to lie, promote their own fraudulent investigation and ruin small business owners in the state just so they could benefit personally and politically.
