Tax Prep Volunteers Needed

The Central Community Redevelopment Agency is seeking volunteers for the FREE | Tax program.

You can help in any of the following ways:

Tax Assistance Counselor

• Become certified through self-study or classroom training, and by passing the IRS exam;

• Provide free tax assistance by preparing tax forms or answering tax questions;

• Help families and individuals one-on-one at tax sites throughout Manatee County

Greeter/Screener

• Assist at sites with intake; make sure taxpayer has all appropriate documentation

• Assist in friendly “traffic control”

The trainings will take place in late December / early January.

Over 150 people were served last year at the CCRA site alone, and many more were served throughout Manatee County. This is a wonderful opportunity to help working families make the most of their tax returns by making sure they receive all of the tax credits they're eligible for, without having to pay high tax prep fees.

Please call 359-5929 to find out more about becoming a volunteer.
