Qualified Experienced  Volunteer Test-- All Experienced Taxpreparers should Try it!--BUT  utilize your PUB 4012!!; Great scenarios--I can check your answers for you if you want.  For VITA, can be used in place of the Advanced test IF--you have volunteered as an Advanced preparer in the past. BUT-- it is up to the program manager if they accept it in place of the Advanced test--so check with your program manger before opting to complete this in lieu of the Advanced test. Note: Cannot be used for CEU credits and I don't believe TCE (AARP) accepts it instead of Advanced. But great practice anyways!

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. ​
