The City of Phoenix needs volunteers to help residents with their yearly taxes. Every year, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program prepares free tax returns for low-to-moderate-income individuals and families, but we can’t do it without YOU. VITA volunteers receive free training and are certified by the IRS to prepare basic tax returns. Training is free and available online to be completed at your own pace. You can become a volunteer with as little as 8 hours of training and get IRS certified with 24 hours of training.
