Volunteers Needed as Tax Preparers: Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
The Business Branch of the Carson City Library at the Business Resource Innovation Center will be a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site again for the upcoming tax season. The VITA program offers free preparation of federal and state income tax returns to low-to-moderate income families in Northern Nevada who cannot prepare their own return. IRS certified volunteer preparers help to ensure the distribution of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and other tax credits, to tax payers who qualify. Last year the VITA program brought almost $4 million to families in Reno, Sparks and Carson City.
Volunteers are needed to be tax preparers at the BRIC. Previous experience preparing returns is not necessary. Free training in basic tax law is provided. Choice of on-line, self-study and hands-on training is sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service. Volunteers can choose their orientation at the BRIC on December 4, 2012 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM or on Saturday, December 8, 2012 from 10:00 AM to Noon. Hands-on training of volunteer tax preparers will also be in January. For information or to volunteer please call (775) 283-7123.
