Opportunities at NWCSA and around our service area.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistant (VITA)
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistant (VITA) is a program that assists individuals/families with income tax preparation during the tax season who meet the guidelines for help. This is a free service by the IRS in conjunction with NWCSA.
Greeters welcome clients, hand out paperwork, and help to make sure our clients have their required information for the tax preparers. Training for this position is minimal and requires good people skills and organization.
Tax preparers require at least 20 hours of training to become certified by the IRS. This certification is completed online at your own pace before the tax season begins. At a minimum, a preparer needs to be certified through the basic level. But volunteers may certify through intermediate and advanced if interested.
We request a commitment of at least 1 day per week for the 14 weeks of tax season.
