United Way of Snohomish County is seeking volunteers now to help prepare income taxes at a free tax preparation and e-filing site. A few
hours of your volunteer time could mean literally thousands of dollars
to a working, low-income family through tax credits they have earned
and by saving fees charged by commercial tax preparers.
If you’ve prepared your own taxes and are comfortable on a computer,
you can help! Volunteers are asked to commit to one 4-5 hour shift per week during the tax season, mid-January to mid-April. They will be
trained and certified by IRS professionals on tax preparation and
software. Knowledge of tax law is helpful, but not necessary.
Volunteers who speak a foreign language are especially needed.
A Site Manager will be present at all times. Hours are flexible, with weekdays, weeknights and weekends available.
Volunteers are needed now for training classes in December.
Volunteers who don’t wish to prepare taxes can help in other ways, such as greeting and screening clients.
For more information or to volunteer, call United Way at 425.921.3441 or email laura.walker@uwsc.org. Download a complete program description and read more about specific volunteer needs:
