It's a nice gesture, but I'm always a little bit surprised by the "need."

Either you make enough money to pay a pro to squeeze every drop of blood out of the loopholes so you can save some of your hard-earned money -or- you don't make enough money to make doing your taxes hard at all.

Unless, of course, you are illiterate.

Help with Student Aid is another story. That is a virtual minefield to navigate and the poorer you are the harder it becomes -unlike filing "taxes."
