If you don't see what all the dreaded fuss of preparing taxes is about, you may be the perfect person to volunteer income tax assistance! Free income tax preparations are provided by the IRS and volunteer organizations for low-income people, the elderly and the military [source: IRS].

Volunteering income tax assistance is a very valuable and much-needed use of your time. You can help low-income families get the most money back that they can, or assist elderly people who might not otherwise be able to file the returns on their own.

• VITA is seeking volunteers to help prepare taxes and are in need of bilingual persons to ensure their services are efficient and family friendly. There will be training provided for tax preparers.
   
• VITA is also seeking a Intake Specialist to ensure there is a welcoming atmosphere for the families. 

• The hour requirement of service has been relaxed, if a student wants to volunteer for a few hours each week that is fine. 

This is a wonderful way to not only develop or enhance your accounting skills but also a wonderful chance for you to develop customer service skills, communication skills as well as make a difference in someone's life!
