VITA
Program - Help with Income Tax Returns
Make life easier for
low-income wage earners; help them with their Income Tax Returns!
Volunteer and you will ensure that these taxpayers receive their
appropriate income tax refunds. Not only will you learn about the
many special credits and deductions available, you will also learn
how these tax benefits can be claimed on their return.
The VITA program
welcomes professionals and non-professionals alike. Your enthusiasm
and once-a-week commitment, from February 7 through April 11, will
fill one of the many available jobs. No worries—you can still take
time off for spring break or any personal needs.
You will help fill out
tax forms and electronically file returns that may lead to Earned
Income Tax Credits of up to $4,000 or Child Tax Credits of $1,000
per child. The IRS will provide classroom tax training during
December and self-paced, online tax training will also be
available. In addition, 3-4 hours of software training is planned
for January.
VITA, a volunteer
program of the IRS, provides this service is FREE to low-income wage
earners in partnership with the Boulder County Treasurer and the
Boulder County Department of Social Services. As a volunteer, you
will learn new things, meet people and help your fellow citizens.
