Tax Counselors play a central role in these services. You can expect to sit with a taxpayer and preparer a return. Free, comprehensive training will teach you all you need to help our clients. All we ask is that you bring a willingness to learn.
Comfort with technology is important. Access to high-speed internet may be needed for training, but we can help accommodate that if not possible. You will learn the needed software in your training.
Other traits of a good Tax Counselor are:
- Like to work with people
- Good listener
- Attention to detail/like numbers
- Comfortable using a computer
- Work in a team environment
Our volunteering is seasonal. Training begins in October. Tax Season starts February 1 and lasts until April 15th.
