Volunteer opportunity: Community tax preparation Would you like to help your community in a significant way? The Sublette County Library will offer free 2019 tax preparation help to Sublette County residents. The IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) will train and certify local volunteers in the tax preparation processes for the upcoming tax season. VITA is looking for Tax Preparers and one additional Intake Volunteer. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is an IRS certified program preparing and supporting volunteers to process and prepare income taxes for those in need in our communities, free of charge. They focus their services on low-moderate income clients, elderly, ESL and rural communities. Last year was our first year hosting this service at the Pinedale Library to Sublette County residents and we'd like to expand the program's reach for all Sublette County residents who can benefit from tax help. This volunteer opportunity with VITA is very flexible and for the limited tax season, making it ideal for anyone interested in a short-term commitment. Here are some details about volunteering in the program: • No tax experience is required, just a willingness
to learn.
