VOLUNTEER TAX PREPARES ARE NEEDED! United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offers free tax preparation for families and individuals with income less than $67,000 or less. Our work ensures that tax returns are accurate, and everyone receives their full refund and avoids unclaimed tax credits and fees for tax preparation services. We provided free tax assistance to Virginia residents by in-person appointment, virtual, and drop-off methods.
No prior experience necessary! We provide free training and a self-certification option to become an IRS-certified tax preparer. To secure your safety, we will provide all necessary COVID-19 provisions for you to make a great contribution to your community! VITA offers Continuing Education credits for volunteer tax preparers that are licensed CPA’s, attorneys, and enrolled agents.
We have multiple volunteer roles available virtually and at our 13 tax sites throughout the Richmond Metropolitan area, which you can volunteer at a location that is convenient for you! We need a volunteer commitment of at least one shift per week , to ensure a successful and efficient tax season!
