Zane Beebe
Sales Tax Intern
Intern Project
“For this summer project, I worked with my Accounting Manager Abby Box at Olympic Steel's Bettendorf Iowa Division. We had been getting charged tax on items that we shouldn't get taxed on. I went through invoices from the last 3 years till now and submitted a refund to the State of Iowa to get our overpaid tax money back. To prevent this from happening again, I had to inform companies on their mistakes and give them a simple document on what is taxable vs. exempt so they could correct their errors.”
