Volunteers who attend our VITA Tax Preparer training will become IRS certified to prepare taxes for low-income families at one of our tax sites throughout Philadelphia. We offer both a Basic and Advanced training. Once certified, attendees are required to serve at least 24 hours during the tax season (Jan 21 - April 15). Knowing how to prepare taxes is a lifelong skill that will not only enhance your resume, but your volunteerism will have a positive impact on the communities we serve.
