For 14 weeks a year, tax preparers help to enter client's data into TaxSlayer, an online tax program provided by the IRS thru the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program or VITA. Come dedicate 1 day a week for 14 weeks to help file taxes. Training is self paced and starts in late November or early December. All preparers are tested to either a basic or advance level. Partnered with an experienced preparer, never work alone until you are ready. Preparers will either met with clients in person every one hour and fifteen minutes or clients will drop off their information so that we can prepare their taxes.
Background checks are required of all volunteers. Training is done both self paced and in person before the season begins.
