A South Valley organization is actively searching for volunteers to support its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, which offers free tax preparation and electronic filing services. This initiative, coordinated by the Community Services Employment Training, aims to assist residents of Tulare and Kings Counties.
Eligible participants in the program must have an annual income of less than $69,000. For the upcoming 2025 tax season, the organization anticipates needing approximately 100 volunteers to serve as IRS-certified tax preparers. Importantly, no prior experience is required to volunteer, making this an accessible opportunity for community members looking to contribute.
Volunteers will play a vital role in helping families navigate the complexities of tax preparation, potentially revealing credits and savings they may not have been aware of. This support can significantly impact the financial well-being of low-income families, especially during tax season when many individuals seek assistance.
Those interested in volunteering can find more information on how to get involved through the organization’s website. Participating not only aids others in the community but also offers volunteers a chance to gain valuable experience and knowledge in tax preparation.
As the tax season approaches, the demand for such services is expected to rise, and the need for dedicated volunteers becomes increasingly critical. The initiative not only serves a practical purpose but also fosters a spirit of community and support among residents.
For anyone looking to make a difference, this program offers a meaningful way to assist neighbors in need while enhancing their own skills and understanding of the tax process.
