Answer 1

The correct answer is 'All of the above' because each site must have specific processes in place for verifying returns are within program scope, identifying certification levels, and ensuring volunteer qualifications in the VITA/TCE tax assistance programs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the intake process for sites involved with the VITA/TCE Programs. These programs are concerned with providing tax assistance to certain groups, including low-to-moderate-income individuals. The correct answer to the question is 'd. All of the above' because each site must:
