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 7,000 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! It's more than just taxes! No experience is necessary. Volunteers will learn to work with selected elements of the tax code and/or learn financial education strategies to help low-income families and individuals make the most of the credits they receive. Experienced tax preparers offer lots of support to new preparers and educators. Qualifications & Requirements
