Volunteer for the Free Tax Preparation Program at Alternatives
Credit Union
Would you like to help put more money in the hands of working low-income people? Each year, Americans spend millions of dollars on tax preparation
and even more is lost in unclaimed credits. Help us offer an alternative! Volunteer
with our Free Tax Preparation Program and learn how to prepare taxes for working
families and individuals. Become a Tax Preparation Volunteer! In 2003, Alternatives spearheaded a free tax program to encourage community
members to claim their tax refunds and to provide an alternative solution to
predatory tax preparers. To date, we've prepared over 4,000 tax returns for working
families and individuals. While receiving free tax preparation,
many of them learned about how they can claim and invest earned income tax credits,
education credits and child and dependent care credits. This year, we're hoping to reach even more taxpayers and help them to claim
the $1.4 million that the IRS estimates goes unclaimed in the Ithaca area each year. We need volunteers to greet participants, prepare taxes and provide financial
education. This great volunteer opportunity is a match for anyone interested in a variety of topics, including: Just think - an hour of your time can mean $5,000 in additional income for a
working family! Qualifications & Requirements
