Jewish Family Service of San Diego's VITA Tax Program helps low-income individuals and families file their taxes with free tax preparation services. Through this program, they also connect them to other helpful JFS resources. With volunteer support, they will help more than 400 households file their taxes for the 2021 Tax Season.
As a VITA Virtual Tax Preparation Volunteer, you will work in-person from JFS's main campus and meet one-on-one with clients over Zoom to help them navigate the ins and outs of tax preparation. They will provide you with training that results in your certification as a volunteer income tax preparer. This detailed training involves a self-directed online curriculum. No previous tax experience necessary! This is an excellent opportunity to gain skills in tax preparation while providing invaluable help to families and individuals in need of your expertise.
