Tax-Aide Counselors assist Montgomery County clients with federal and state (MD) tax preparation free of charge, using IRS provided software. This is a great opportunity for those who are detail-oriented and like to interact with people. Training classes are held in January and you work with an experienced Mentor. Volunteers prepare taxes for clients at least one day a week throughout tax season. Required: good computer skills, competent keyboard skills, very good communication skills, willingness to listen patiently and with interest in what the client is saying in sometimes stressful situations.
This is a wonderful opportunity to interact with and help many people, learn new skills or use old ones and be a part of a great program! There is also a volunteer appreciation event at the end of tax season. Check out our website for more details
