VITA Tax Lead Volunteer

Save to Favorites

The IRC operates a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program to provide FREE tax prep services to low and moderate income families who cannot afford to pay $200+ for a tax return. We completed more than 3,200 returns last tax season and helped families receive more than $5.5 million in refunds. The IRC’s VITA program would not be able to operate without the hard work and dedication from our amazing volunteers!

Our Tax Preparation Lead Volunteers not only assist clients with preparing their taxes but also support and guide newer volunteers through the duration of tax season.
