Now seeking volunteers for the upcoming 2024 tax season

Volunteer Roles

Every hour volunteered brings $500 in Federal refunds back to a low income taxpayer!

In 2023, Tempe’s VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) tax site volunteers gave over 1,200 hours of their time preparing taxes for the low/moderate income individuals/families, seniors and those with disabilities.  Collectively, our treasured volunteers prepared 1,184 Federal and State tax returns for free.  Thanks to this important service provided by volunteers, tax credits and refunds were provided to those who need it most.

Be a part of making a difference – consider becoming a volunteer.  Many positions are available.
