CEO is looking for community member to help Prepare Taxes for Low-Income individuals and families!
Income tax filing is required of almost every individual or family in every community and city across the United States, but many families battle new challenges each day-ranging from the affordability of groceries and school supplies to the rising costs of bills and rent. Few can manage the added expense of a paid tax preparer to help file for each and every refund available to them. That's why CEO offers the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program to provide low and moderate-income individuals and families, immigrants, non-English speakers, seniors, and self-employed individuals access to accurate, professional tax preparation services at no cost.
No past tax preparation or accounting experience is necessary, though we do encourage those professional accountants and those pursuing related degrees to volunteer. New volunteers are required to attend training and complete an online course and test that will certify you as a volunteer tax preparer through the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program.
We can't wait to have your help!
