Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

Are you looking for a way to help people in our community this winter? Take a look at VITA/TCE – Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly. The VITA/TCE program needs 100 volunteers from throughout the Fox Valley to help taxpayers who cannot afford professional tax assistance. Tax background can be helpful, but is not necessary. Training will be provided. VITA/TCE volunteers are asked to commit to at least 20 hours on Monday, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays between February and April, 2009. The volunteer opportunities include: Site Greeters, who make sure taxpayers have brought the right materials; E-File Tax Preparers, who help taxpayers work through the return; Reviewers, who check the returns to make sure they are completed correctly.
