      Find everything you’ll need to run or promote a Volunteer Tax Site this tax season!  
 
 
 
In the past, our tax sites have only done between 1% and 4% of the low-income tax returns in the Bay Area. We need organizations like yours to step up to the challenge of serving Bay Area residents with free tax preparation.  
 
         
 

How organizations can get involved

How to start a VITA site in your community

One thing organizations can do to help increase both the total number of tax returns filed, as well as the amount of EITC dollars returned to the Bay Area is to operate a volunteer income tax assistance site. Below is a toolkit with all of the instructions for operating a VITA site. Because running a VITA site includes logistics management, volunteer recruitment, and ensuring a suitable location with computers, you may consider partnering with other agencies to help manage the workload.

For more information
If you or your organization is interested in becoming a new VITA site in the Bay Area or need more information about the responsibilities of a VITA site, please download our mini-tool kit from the links below.
