WESTMINSTER — Southeastern Vermont Community Action and Granite United Way of New Hampshire are partnering to offer the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program in upper Windham County and Windsor County.
The program helps low- to moderate-income households by providing free federal and state income tax return preparation services. SEVCA is recruiting volunteers for the coming 2019 tax filing season to help as many families as possible claim the tax credits and refunds available to them.
SEVCA is looking for individuals who are willing and able to commit three to four hours per week from Jan. 29 to April 15, 2019. Prior tax preparation experience isn't necessary, but a commitment to training and certification is required.
Participants will receive specialized training from a certified VITA instructor, plus IRS online courses. SEVCA provides all needed materials and software, along with a very supportive training structure. Continuing on-site training and supervision is provided during the tax season.
SEVCA operates VITA sites at SEVCA's offices at 91 Buck Drive, Westminster, as well as in Windsor and White River Junction.
They are most in need of volunteers in Westminster, but could use more volunteers at any of the sites.
