Are you looking for a meaningful opportunity to make a difference in your community? Consider becoming an IRS-certified tax preparer with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. The training is free. All it takes is a big heart and few hours of your time to assist low-to-moderate income families with their tax returns. It’s a win-win for the community and your neighbors.

Last year, through our support of the Miami-Dade VITA Coalition for free tax preparation, 10,795 Miami-Dade taxpayers received:

  • $12,851,146 million in tax refunds
  • Earned Income Tax Credits of $4,796,082 million
  • $2.4 million of savings in tax preparation fees

By helping individuals and hardworking families put a little extra money in their pocket, you can play a vital role in providing a pathway to prosperity and stability to some of our community’s most vulnerable members. In return, you’ll enjoy free IRS-certified tax preparation training, real world work experience and networking opportunities.
