The BBA's New Lawyers Section is seeking volunteers for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program. As a volunteer for VITA you will help low and moderate-income taxpayers fill out tax returns, and offer consultations on special credits, such as Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly.
You do not need any specific skills; all volunteers who wish to make an impact are welcome. You will be provided with the appropriate training and all necessary resources, including experienced staff and volunteers. Each volunteer is asked to contribute approximately 12 hours of his or her time during tax season. All volunteers must complete IRS on-line training and certification.
