IRS Asks for Volunteers

The Internal Revenue Service is seeking community volunteers to provide free tax help to qualified individuals during the tax filing season.  Managed by the IRS, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs are community based partnerships that provide free tax return preparation for low-to-moderate income taxpayers, seniors, people with disabilities and those with limited English skills. Last year nearly 99,000 community volunteers answered the call and made a difference by preparing over 3.3 million tax returns for free at more than 13,000 locations nationwide. Additional information about becoming a VITA or TCE volunteer is available on IRS.gov by typing the key words "tax volunteer" in the search box.
