To prepare tax returns, volunteers must obtain at least an IRS’ Volunteer Standards of Conduct (Ethics) Certification and a certification for Basic Preparers.  UWGA will be providing in-person and virtual training in November and December to help volunteers pass these certifications. Volunteers can also do self-study to be certified.  Learn more about the certification. 

If you aren’t sure about your ability to help e-file taxes but would still like to volunteer, don’t worry — we still need your help! There are other positions to be filled at VITA locations that don’t require computer skills or passing the tax preparation course. 

Sign up today to volunteer!
