                       Friday, September 11, 2020

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Marshall J. 
Hunt's many contributions to the communities of Wayne County, Michigan 
and statewide, particularly his nearly four decades of service to 
Accounting Aid Society, one of southeast Michigan's largest Volunteer 
Income Tax Assistance non-profit organizations.
  A Certified Public Accountant for more than fifty years, Marshall 
Hunt accumulated more than thirty years of federal service to the 
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and in tax administration before joining 
the team at Accounting Aid Society. Mr. Hunt possesses a wealth of 
knowledge and expertise on income tax issues and tax code. More 
importantly, Marshall Hunt recognizes the need for financial and income 
tax services in metropolitan Detroit's most vulnerable communities.
  As director of Accounting Aid's income tax program, Mr. Hunt has been 
instrumental in the organization's growth to provide free income tax 
preparation at multiple locations throughout southeast Michigan, 
including mobile pop-up sites. This work is vital in putting deserved 
dollars in the form of income tax refunds back into the pockets of the 
people who need it most.
  Beyond his work with Accounting Aid Society, Marshall Hunt is an 
educator. He teaches accounting at University of Michigan Dearborn and 
is instrumental in Accounting Aid's volunteer income tax preparers' 
education each year. In addition, he has served on the Internal Revenue 
Service Advisory Council. He is a member of the Michigan Department of 
Treasury Individual Tax Advisory Group, the Tax Practice and Procedures 
Committee of the American Institute of CPAs, and the Steering Committee 
of the Taxpayer Opportunity Network. Mr. Hunt is also active in the 
Michigan Association of CPAs and is a member of the Board of Directors 
of the Old Newsboys' Goodfellow Fund of Detroit.
  Please join me in recognizing Marshall Hunt's numerous outstanding 
contributions and his thirty-nine years of service to Accounting Aid 
Society.
