VITA
Become a Volunteer IRS Certified Tax Preparer. People with basic taxes often find tax filing overwhelming and need your help. In California alone, over 6 million residents– including your neighbors, co-workers, and friends– live in poverty. Many of these taxpayers turn to paid tax preparers. However, the tax industry is unregulated, and many paid preparers don’t provide the quality services people need. We can train you to become a VITA Volunteer.
