VITA

Project Description

The AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) provides free income tax preparation for federal, state, and local tax returns. Property Tax and Rent Rebate preparation is also available. All Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) volunteers receive local training and are required to certify through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) annually. This service is available to Clarion and Jefferson County residents with income less than $60,000 annually.

VITA is always recruiting volunteers to assist as greeters, preparers, and quality reviewers.

For additional Information about VITA or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact Cheryl Shellhammer, AmeriCorps Seniors Director (see 'Contact Information' below).
