    Description

    Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) - Chapel Hill NC

    Help low to moderate-income taxpayers by assisting them in preparing their income tax returns and maximizing their refund. Experience doing tax returns is helpful but not required. You will need to be comfortable with computers, be detail-oriented, and have an email address that you check regularly. You'll receive an orientation and support during your online training from November through January. Our tax season begins February 1 and goes until April 15. Most preparers work 8-10 hours per week during the tax season.
