CTA provides income tax preparation services for the working poor and elderly at no charge. Volunteers also represent clients if necessary. In 2000, CTA completed its 13th year of providing free tax preparation to 1,600 low-income individuals and families at 12 locations in DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia. For the 2001 tax season, CTA has 13 locations. Volunteers receive excellent training that qualifies for up to six hours of CPE credit.
Managers are always on-site and they review every tax return.
Other interested individuals can help with administrative and non-technical tasks also are welcome. Volunteers work on Saturdays, Sundays or weeknights for as little as two hours a week for a few weeks, at the site of their choice. For a draft memo to help in recruiting efforts click here .
