Free File Volunteers are Superheroes to those they serve. In a typical tax season, about 60 community volunteers complete IRS certification training and prepare over 1,500 tax returns for individuals and families with an average income of approximately $20,666.

Free File could not happen without an amazing team of volunteers. Volunteer opportunities are:

  • Greeter: Welcoming taxpayers and overseeing the sign-in process. Conducting the initial screening of taxpayers.
  • Tax Preparer: Meeting with the taxpayer to gather information, reviewing documentation, and preparing tax returns.
  • Site Coordinator: Managing the Free File site and volunteers. Providing support, answering questions, and providing quality review of tax returns.
  • Interpreter: Assist tax payers who have limited English proficiency. We are currently seeking Spanish interpreters.
