Event Description

WHY VOLUNTEER AT A FREE TAX SITE?

It makes a big difference for hard-working families in our community! Every volunteer-prepared tax return yields an average refund of $2,469 for a hard-working household in our community. Sign up to be a VITA volunteer and put more tax refund money in the pockets of hard-working Arkansans!

Arkansas Asset Builders is a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program partner, providing free, volunteer-prepared tax preparation to individuals and families with annual incomes up to $56,000. Tax refunds that include the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) are an important resource for hard-working families, helping them to get ahead financially, pay down debt and work toward saving for the future. At VITA sites, IRS-trained and certified volunteers work one-on-one with filers to prepare and electronically file state and federal income tax forms at no charge and determine qualifications for tax credits and refunds.

TAX SITE ROLES

  • Tax Preparer: Prepare and file income tax returns with filers.
  • Intake Coordinator: Greet and interview filers, manage appointment schedules, ensure that clients are served in a timely manner.
  • Savings Specialist: Help filers learn about ways to save and stretch their refunds, pull free credit reports and review with clients, provide referrals to other services.
  • Translator: Assist in translating languages for both volunteers and filers.

IF YOU HAVE THESE SKILLS…

  • Experience using computers;
  • Time to commit to a one three-hour session per week from late-January until mid-April; and,
  • Strong interpersonal and verbal communication skills, in English or Spanish.

WE’LL PROVIDE ALL THE TRAINING YOU NEED!

VITA is a meaningful, unique experience for the volunteers and filers. As a volunteer, you’ll:

  • Learn valuable, lifelong skills;
  • Obtain an IRS certification to build your resume; and,
  • Make a difference in the community where you live by empowering our hard-working neighbors to access important tax refunds at no cost.
