Home Start’s VITA Program provides free tax preparation
and filing support to low-to-moderate income individuals and families across San
Diego. Last year, our VITA team prepared more than 1,100 tax returns, yielding nearly
$1.75 million in refunds. Volunteers are the key to the VITA Program’s
success.
All volunteers must complete required IRS & Home
Start trainings & certifications. A commitment of 4 hours / week is
required during tax season (now - April 2023). We have flexible schedule including weekdays,
evenings and weekends, as well as virtual and socially distanced options.
Volunteering for the VITA Program is an extremely
rewarding opportunity, and no experience is necessary. We even have opportunities
that don’t involve preparing taxes!
