As described by the agency, the programs serve populations such as rural taxpayers, limited English speakers and senior citizens. “No experience is necessary to become a VITA or TCE volunteer,” the IRS said, adding that “free specialized training is provided by the agency.”
Available positions “go beyond tax preparation,” the IRS stressed. They include:

Volunteers are given the option to participate at both in-person and virtual sites, often with flexible hours.
