Bilingual volunteers needed for tax prep
The Paso Robles City Library is partnering with AARP Tax Aide and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program to provide tax assistance for the coming tax season and is looking for bilingual volunteers with some bookkeeping/tax preparation skills to assist.
The AARP/VITA program is for seniors and low-to-moderate income residents who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns. IRS-certified volunteers provide free basic income tax return preparation, assisting with various tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled.
Training for bilingual assistants will be held in December 2013 and January 2014. For more information on this much needed, short-term volunteer opportunity, please contact Stan Marquis at (805) 712-5128 or at smarquis@charter.net.
