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 Greeters create a welcoming atmosphere for taxpayers and other volunteers. They greet taxpayers, assess the type of assistance they need, and make sure they have the documents necessary to complete their tax returns. Tax law certification is not necessary for this role.
A typical volunteer schedule would be 3-4 hours on a weekday evening or a weekend afternoon during February, March, or April.
