VITA volunteers to provide free tax preparation for low-income earners
Help low-income families and individuals improve their financial stability. Consider joining our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) team of tax preparers and interviewers for the 2023 tax year. Volunteers prepare federal and state tax returns at no cost, assisting clients access the tax credits to which they are eligible. Services will be provided at multiple sites across Ventura County offering the opportunity to volunteer during the day, in the evening, or on Saturday. Volunteers are asked to commit four hours per week during the VITA tax season, February 1st – April 30th. Volunteers work in teams led by an experienced tax preparer. Virtual preparation of taxes is also available.
No experience is necessary and classroom and online training is provided to assist in successfully completing the IRS certification. A two-session training course (in-person & virtual) will be offered November 18 & December 2 at Moorpark College and at Oxnard College (in-person) November 18 and December 12.
In 2023, 57 VITA volunteers completed more than 1,500 tax returns representing over $1.7 million in refunds infused into the Ventura County economy, including over $526,000 in the Earned Income Tax Credit. With your help we can serve even more Ventura County residents in 2024!
Please check out our volunteer opportunities and consider joining our VITA team.
