You will be assisting millions of low-to-moderate-income taxpayers who rely on free, basic tax preparation each year. You will also be part of the thousands of ordinary VITA volunteers interested in helping the vulnerable become more financially stable! The United Way of Central Jersey (UWCJ) needs you on its tax prep team for 2025!

Last season 196 volunteers participated in this critical asset-building engagement and prepared approximately 3,000 returns. The results - $2 million plus in refunds returned to taxpayers in the community in the form of refunds, with filing fee savings to taxpayers of over $325,000.

United Way of Central Jersey teams up with the IRS and community partners each year to provide free tax services through VITA. United Way and its collaborators are the leading providers of volunteer income tax assistance in Middlesex County.

"This service is aimed at low and moderate-income taxpayers," said Gloria Aftanski, President of United Way of Central Jersey.

The IRS partners with United Way to direct a coalition of community partners in order to increase the reach of the VITA.

The Middlesex County, NJ VITA Coalition is recruiting new/additional volunteers in various capacities to help with this effort. Volunteers must complete certification timely and be ready to start by February 1, 2025, through April 30, 2025.

United Way of Central Jersey is located at 32 Ford Avenue in Milltown NJ 08850
