What is VITA?
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance is an IRS program that trains and certifies volunteers to prepare BASIC tax returns for those with low to moderate income, individuals with disabilities, and elderly taxpayers. Its primary objectives are to provide an affordable certified tax preparation option and to connect low income working families to the fully refundable Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). VITA also educates about the risks of predatory loan products (RAL’s and RAC’s).
What kind of experience is needed to become a volunteer?
Only the spirit of volunteerism! No other experience is required. If you do your own taxes you’re in very good shape.
What kind of training will I receive?
Free basic/intermediate income tax law for federal and state such as Forms 1040 and related schedules A, B, and C-EZ.
You will also receive interview technique pointers and software training.
How long is the training and when will it be available?
Training should take approximately 18-25 hours. Most of the training is through an IRS on-line website where you will study the on-line certification modules and be tested afterward. These are self-paced modules where you will study at your own pace.
