If your Role is Greeter, Intake Personnel,  or Interpreter only you do not need to take any more certifications.  

For everyone  else-- tax preparers, site coordinators, and quality reviewers work on your other certifications in your PUB 6744, remember to check your answers for the tax tests using the tool on the Study Guides & More page. 


To help you feel more comfortable with the intake form and doing an intake interview with the client, visit  Intake Interview page

Please note: I, Mary Meador, AM NOT a certified accountant or tax law expert. I volunteer with VITA providing free tax preparation for individuals and families whose income is less than $66,000 a year. We deal with simple returns at our sites.  I cannot guarantee the accuracy of all the information on this site as tax laws change and I may not have a clear understanding of complicated issues. I am trying to provide basic tax preparation information for our volunteers to get started--remember Publication 4012 is your go-to resource for questions, as well as irs.gov and Publication 17.  I hope you find this information useful and easy to understand. Thanks for being a VITA/TCE volunteer!
**I am human, so if you find a mistake, please let me know so I can fix it--we are all in this together**
