Volunteers needed for library VITA program
The Internal Revenue Service and the Carson City Library will be hosting the local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site and are looking for volunteers to help prepare tax returns next year. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.
All volunteers receive training in cooperation with the IRS and the United Way of Northern Nevada. Individuals with good computer skills are especially needed to assist in preparing and transmitting returns electronically through the IRS E-file program.
“Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites provide a great service for eligible lower-income taxpayers to get free tax preparation during the tax filing season,” said Carson City Library Deputy Director Tammy Westergard. “And by partnering with Nevada-based coalitions like the United Way, clients at our site will join the thousands of Nevada taxpayers that will get much needed tax assistance next year.”
Training
Classroom training will be on a Saturday in January and will be supplemented by online, interactive coursework that teaches the steps needed to prepare basic individual income tax returns accurately. Testing to obtain IRS certification is also online. Once certified, volunteers spend as little as two to four hours per week from early February through mid-April.
