Tax Counseling
Meet with an IRS-certified volunteer and receive free assistance on your tax returns.
All of our volunteers must take and pass tax law training that meets or exceeds IRS standards. This training includes maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of all taxpayer information. In addition to requiring volunteers to certify their knowledge of the tax laws, the IRS requires a quality review check for every return prepared prior to filing.
