Volunteers Still Needed for SEVCA’s Free Tax Assistance Program
Great Way to Make a Difference in Your Community!
Southeastern Vermont Community Action (SEVCA) will provide free tax preparation for lower income taxpayers for the 2018 tax filing season through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. In order to help as many families as possible claim the tax credits and refunds available to them, SEVCA is now recruiting volunteers to work at sites in White River Junction, Windsor, and Westminster during tax season. We especially need volunteers in Westminster-- training at this site is taking place on Tuesday afternoons in December and January
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax help to people who have low to moderate income, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and limited English-speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free federal and state income tax return preparation with electronic filing.
Don’t know that much about taxes? Don’t worry — you’ll receive specialized training from a certified VITA instructor plus IRS online courses. We are looking for individuals who are willing and able to commit 3 to 4 hours per week from January 30 – April 10, 2018. Although prior tax preparation experience is not necessary, a commitment to training and certification is required. Training sessions will be held in Westminster during December & January and at your convenience using online IRS self-study training materials. Continuing on-site training and supervision is provided during the tax preparation season.
