Tax Preparation Volunteers Needed

The Center for Economic Progress is looking for volunteers to work one-on-one with low-income families to help them move toward financial security. Volunteer opportunities are available right here in Uptown at Truman College.

To volunteer at a tax preparation site:

• No experience is necessary—choose a position to fit your current skills or learn something new.
• All trainings are provided; classes run in January.
• Volunteers are asked to commit 20 hours (averaging to a few hours a week) between January and April.
• Our Uptown tax site, located at Truman College at 1145 W. Wilson, is open in the evening Monday through Thursday and in the daytime on Saturday.

Volunteer positions available as…

• Tax preparers: Work with clients to file federal and state tax returns and provide counseling on tax credits and forms.

• Tax site assistants: Perform essential non-tax-preparation activities, including client intake, translating and educating on basic banking options available on site.
