In addition, the VITA program needs volunteers from all walks of life to help provide hands-on tax assistance in their communities. The VITA program trains volunteers to help people prepare basic tax returns for those with low to limited incomes, individuals with disabilities, and non-English speaking persons and elderly taxpayers. The volunteers serve in their own communities at neighborhood centers, libraries, churches, shopping malls and other convenient locations during tax time.
Volunteers also provide assistance and return preparation for earned income tax credits.
CPA mentors and VITA volunteers can elect to volunteer as their schedules permit. The Wisconsin Institute of CPAs prints free classified ads for volunteer CPAs in The Wisconsin CPA magazine and on this Web site . If you know about non-profits that need volunteer CPAs, please tell them about this service. Ads must be less than 50 words and have contact information that refers volunteer CPAs directly to the non-profit. Eligible non-profits can inquire about this service and other advertising opportunities by contacting Ann Dee Allen .
