The Nassau County Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is looking for volunteers for the 2017/18 tax season. The VITA program (a Real$ense Prosperity Campaign and United Way Initiative) provides free electronic and paper income tax filing assistance for low to moderate income tax filers. The program has been in place for more than 15 years in Nassau County and files over 500 returns each year for eligible tax payers.
If you have a financial background, tax preparation experience or have several years of filing your own tax return using commercially available computer software, the program could use your help. Computer literacy is required.
Volunteers will be provided with IRS study material, tax preparation software, tax publications and must pass IRS certification tests. Preparing and filing of tax forms will start in late January 2018 and run through April 17 at the Atlantic Recreation Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-5 p.m. and on Wednesdays from 4-8 p.m.
Study material, software and publications will become available in November and training will occur in early December. If you would like to be a part of this community program, please contact Genece Minshew at [email protected] or 904 491-0185.
