Last year more than 3,100 volunteers helped prepare taxes across the Bay Area
We could still use your help! We are looking for volunteers for Earn It! Keep It! Save It!, our free tax preparation program.
Last year, more than 3,100 volunteers prepared more than 47,000 tax returns returning $47 million in refunds to Bay Area residents. This money, targets people making less than $52,000 a year and most the refunds get put back into the local economy. This is an important part of our Road to Recovery effort.
We need your help to reach even more families in 2010!
Join our exciting coalition of volunteers – we will provide training and link you to a local site to assist low-income families and seniors in your community. We have over 180 sites throughout seven counties in the Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, Solano, San Francisco and San Mateo).
Some things to keep in mind.
- All of our tax preparers and screeners must be trained and certified by the IRS. Training class schedules vary by county and begin in December and/or January.
- On average, three to four days of classroom instruction is offered. For tax professionals or experienced volunteers, an online training and certification tool is available in November.
- Site operation hours vary by site but each volunteer is asked to commit to volunteer regularly (at least one 4 hour shift per week), beginning late January through April 15th.
- All of our volunteers need to be comfortable working with a computer.
Join us today and be a part of this extraordinary effort to help working families get the deductions and credits they deserve!
