Volunteer for tax assistance

WINDHAM COUNTY - Southeastern Vermont Community Action is now recruiting volunteers to provide tax preparation services for the 2021 tax filing season through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. This program assists families to claim the tax credits and refunds available to them. Don’t know that much about taxes? Don’t worry; volunteers receive training from an instructor plus IRS online courses.
SEVCA is looking for individuals who are willing and able to commit at least three or more hours per week from December through Friday, April 15. Although prior tax preparation experience is not required, a desire to assist neighbors in need is essential. Various volunteer roles will be available to suit different skills and interests.
To help provide this free, essential service to community members most in need or to ask questions about volunteering contact Leslie Wood, SEVCA’s VITA program coordinator, at lwood@sevca.org or (800) 464-9951. Additional information on SEVCA and the no-cost services and programs provided to Windham and Windsor county residents is available at sevca.org.
