Talking Tax Time with David Marzahl: Matched Savings, EITC and VITA

This is shaping up to be "New Media Week" here on The Ladder. Alejandra unveiled the first video from our "Talking Tax Time" series on Monday and Jamie Zimmerman posted her podcast on conditional cash transfers today. Continuing in that vein, here is the second installment of our "Talking Tax Time" series. This video features our own Melissa Koide interviewing David Marzahl of the Center for Economic Progress about their work to promote free tax preparation for low-income filers and the appetite they see for safe, effective savings products that meet the needs of those hard-working folks. David highlights some incremental but important progress that CEP has seen in recent years and sees the potential of matched savings programs like the Saver's Bonus.

The video, below the jump, runs between five and six minutes:
