INCOME TAX ASSISTANT
(There is no current need for new tax volunteers.)
As an Income Tax Assistant, you will help people who don't know how to file income taxes or who cannot afford to hire a professional. No prior experience necessary. We'll teach you how to complete and file forms electronically so you can help others.
