1) Yes, it is a violation of the VSC for Pat to solicit business from any taxpayer at the VITA/TCE site.
2) No, it is not a violation since the return cannot be prepared at the site.
3) No, none of the VSC addresses soliciting business while volunteering at the VITA/TCE site.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option 1) Yes, it is a violation of the VSC for Pat to solicit business from any taxpayer at the VITA/TCE site.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, Pat has violated the Volunteer Standards of Conduct (VSC) by soliciting business from taxpayers at the VITA/TCE site.

For volunteering at the VITA/TCE site, there are Volunteer Standards of Conduct (VSC) in place. These standards prohibit volunteers from soliciting business from any taxpayer while volunteering.

Even though the return cannot be prepared at the site, Pat is still not allowed to solicit business while volunteering. Therefore, it is a violation of the VSC.
