Are you good with numbers, details, customer service, and data entry? Do you file your own taxes (or want to learn how)? Have a tax/accounting/law background? Maybe you're looking for an online way to help our neighbors access a valuable service that saves money and increases financial stability?
Join us to become an IRS-certified volunteer tax preparer for CA$H (Creating Assets, Savings and Hope) Greater Portland, an initiative of United Way of Greater Portland in partnership with the Greater Portland CA$H Coalition.
Volunteers review client documents and prepare returns using provided online programs late January through mid-April. Taxes may be prepared from your home/workplace on your own schedule, but optional weekly check-ins and virtual meetings will be offered for tax preparers to connect digitally and support each other. This is a great opportunity for people with basic computer skills who are comfortable having one-on-one phone conversations with tax clients (if needed) and are open to learning along with us as we pilot new processes. Free self-paced, online training is provided.
