Volunteers Needed as Tax Preparers

Tax season has arrived, and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program at Prince George’s Community College needs volunteers to help prepare tax returns.

The program offers free tax services to Prince George’s County residents with disabilities, elderly taxpayers and low- and limited-income residents and students.

Volunteers will be trained and gain valuable experience working with the community. Last year, the VITA program prepared over 2,200 federal and state tax returns.

Those who volunteer will also receive an Internal Revenue Service volunteer tax preparer certification. Some may also qualify to earn college credit.

Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of eight weeks of service on Tuesday evenings or Saturdays.

For more information, call 301-322-0713 or email vita@pgcc.edu. Register online to volunteer.
