Stimulate the economy by helping low- and moderate-Income households file their annual taxes for free. The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program saves tax payers $300 each in filing fees - money they can keep in their pockets for food, clothing, and shelter.
YOU will help each household maximize child and education tax credits that they often leave on the table. Last year, over 100 VITA volunteers filed 10,474 tax returns and generated over $10M in tax refunds for our neighbors in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston and Union Counties. The tax refund is often the largest infusion of cash these individuals/families receive in a year.
Flexible locations and schedules.
You don't have to have any tax filing experience. Community Link provides the training which is certified by the IRS. You do need people skills and basic computer proficiency.

Mission Statement
The mission of Community Link (est. 1929) is to enable individuals and families to obtain and sustain safe, decent and affordable housing.
Description
Community Link is based out of Charlotte, North Carolina and operates in 21 counties across the state. We work with low-income individuals and families to help them secure safe, decent and affordable housing. Annually, we serve around 2,000 adults and children through our Homeless to Housing programs.
We offer free tax preparation for low-income individuals and families as well. Our VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program needs volunteers to be a greeter, site coordinator, or tax preparer. We will train you! Training begins each fall in preparation for the spring tax season.
VITA is part of our Asset Building program. We offer educational classes and one-on-one counseling to improve financial literacy and stability. Our goal in Asset Building is to help anyone become a first-time homeowner.
Community Link begin in 1929 as a Travelers Aid organization. We continue Travelers Aid by helping people get to safe home across the country. Typically, we serve people escaping domestic violence, stranded travelers, and people re-entering the world from incarceration. Annually, we help about 250 people through Travelers Aid.
