The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people with low-to-moderate income, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, those who have limited English proficiency, and others who need assistance in preparing their tax returns.
VITA Interpreters provide free language interpretation services to customers who are not fluent in English as they engage with certified VITA tax preparers who are not fluent in Spanish. Basic tax knowledge is helpful, but tax law certification is not required for this position.
A typical volunteer schedule would be 3-4 hours on a weekday evening or a weekend afternoon during February, March, or April.
