Thanks to the commitment of our volunteers...
In eight years we have prepared over 251,000 tax returns and claimed $339 million in tax credits and refunds for our community.
Our free, quality tax services saved close to $7.5 million for our neighbors last year.
Join us and see firsthand the financial impact you can have on a family.
Basic Tax Preparer Training (16 hours):
New volunteers with little to no tax preparation experience attend 16 hours of training. You should be comfortable using a computer and navigating a software program. Two 8-hour sessions cover the basics of tax law and the TaxWise software we use at Neighborhood Tax Centers. You will be trained to complete the IRS Basic-level volunteer certification test.
Accelerated Basic Tax Preparer Training (12 hours):
This is a fast-paced 12-hour class for new volunteers who are very comfortable using a computer and navigating through a software program. This is also an option for returning volunteers who certified at the Basic-level in past years and would like a comprehensive refresher. Three 4-hour sessions cover the basics of tax law and the TaxWise software we use at Neighborhood Tax Centers. At the end of the 12 hours, you will be trained to complete the IRS Basic-level volunteer certification test.
