Play a V.I.T.A.(L) role at tax time. Volunteer!
Our volunteer tax return preparers become IRS-certified and prepare and e-file federal, state and city returns for Genesee County taxpayers with low-to-moderate incomes.
Our quality reviewers work with taxpayers, checking each and every return. This helps to ensure that all entries agree with the documents and other information provided by the taxpayers, that all calculations are correct, and that taxpayers receive the full benefit of the tax law and any deductions and credits to which they are entitled.
Some volunteers prefer not to prepare or review returns but enjoy their role as greeters, providing taxpayers with intake documents and making them feel welcome at the VITA sites.
Interested in opening a new tax site? A site coordinator manages both the volunteers and the site, prepares more difficult returns and answers any questions that may arise.
Training will be provided for all of these volunteer positions.
