Volunteer Commitment

VITA Standard of Conduct

Tempe Community Council is a sponsor of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and requires all volunteers who participate in the program to sign a VITA Rules Agreement form,
acknowledging they have read and agreed to comply with the IRS Volunteer Standards of
Conduct.

The mission of the VITA/TCE tax return preparation programs is to assist eligible taxpayers in satisfying their tax responsibilities by providing free tax return preparation. To establish the greatest degree of trust, volunteers are required to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct and provide quality service.

All VITA/TCE volunteers must complete the Volunteer Standards of Conduct Training, sign
Form 13615 (Volunteer Standards of Conduct Agreement) and a Volunteer Position Agreement.
