Qualifications:
What VITA Volunteers Do
No prior tax preparation experience is necessary, although this is an excellent service for those who like doing their own taxes; those who are professionals that want to share their talents; retirees who enjoy working with people. And there are volunteer opportunities that do not actually involve preparing taxes such as receptionists, computer expertise, coordination, publicity and team support.
Each volunteer will receive proper training/certification in their chosen role. Keep in mind you will not be asked to volunteer in any capacity you find uncomfortable or are not trained/certified for.

Comments:
Volunteer Training ~ VITA provides free training to ensure your success.
Volunteer tax preparers receive IRS provided extensive training and are required to pass a certification exam before they can prepare taxes. The primary training is self-paced online training. Instructor-led training may be available depending on the site and location. Tax preparers also receive training on the tax preparation software used to prepare taxes.

Training generally takes place in December and January, with training materials available as early as mid-November. We provide the software, training and a laptop computer for your use.
