    Description

    Do you enjoy working with people, learning new skills and giving back to other members of our community? Help make a difference in Jefferson County by being a part of a program that connects eligible, low-income families and individuals to free tax preparation services and earned tax credits. By volunteering for just 4 hours a week during tax season, you could help bring over $150,000 into the community through tax refunds. This return on investment is even larger when you include the savings that individuals and families receive by filing their tax return for free.

    We have volunteer positions available that provide a wide variety of opportunities and the application of a variety of skills and talents. No experience necessary - you will receive the training you need while serving a vital role in our community. With your help, families can better access the pathway to improved financial stability and bring dollars back into our local economy.

    Our tax sites are located in community centers, churches and businesses throughout Jefferson County. Our hours of operation vary by site but are available both day and evenings seven days a week. Our volunteers come from all walks of life and include students, professionals and adults who take care of others at home. They range in age from 16 to over 80. So come join us, make new friends and learn how taxes can be fun!

    Through this program, all volunteers will receive some level of training - and those who choose to be tax preparers will become IRS trained and certified.
