The Mercer Alliance to End Homelessness is seeking volunteers to staff tax-preparation sites throughout Mercer County during the upcoming tax season.
Many of Mercer Alliance’s partners are hosting sites but need volunteers to prepare taxes for low-income working families and individuals for four to eight hours per week.
Volunteers must be trained by the Internal Revenue Service and AARP. IRS and AARP instructors will provide hands-on computer training from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 8, 9 and 16. The required 24 hours of training is intended to provide a solid and practical knowledge of tax law, use of TaxWise tax software and practice doing tax returns. Additional training may be available for interested individuals.
For more information and to sign up for the training, contact Tarry Truitt at [email protected] or (609) 844-1008.
