Become an IRS certified tax preparer (on-line or through classes with United Way), and help local low-income workers receive their refunds and credits. There are two local sites that need tax preparers. One is at St. Athanasius Church in Mountain View, and a second is at the Star One Credit Union on El Camino Real in Palo Alto. Sessions at St. Athanasius are Saturday morning from January 30 to April 9. Sessions at Star One are Friday afternoons from 2 to 7 p.m.
For information about St. Athanasius, contact Paul Chestnut,

No experience is necessary, but it is a requirement to take tax law training and pass a test. For orientation and training dates and information about other sites and hours/days in the county visit www.VITAsv.org, or email [email protected]
In addition to tax preparers, we welcome volunteer Greeters. Spanish speakers are especially needed.
