Become a VITA Volunteer

The City of Phoenix needs volunteers to help residents with their 2023 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 complete 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.

Why Should You Volunteer?

Volunteering with VITA is a great way to build your resume and make a difference in your community. As a VITA Volunteer, you will learn valuable skills like customer service and tax preparation.

Want to volunteer but do not want to prepare taxes? No problem! We also need greeters, screeners, bilingual interpreters, and site coordinators.
