Volunteer to Help Hardworking Families Get More of Their Own Money Back 

Just a few hours of your time can help thousands of people get more of their own money back when you volunteer as a tax preparer for the region-wide Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Initiative.

Join this effort to offer free tax preparation to low and moderate income residents of our Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region.  Our goal is simple: to ensure that people file their taxes and take advantage of all the credits for which they are eligible.

Volunteers drive the program and it can’t happen without you!  In 2007, 300+ volunteers prepared 4,500 tax returns, generating approximately $5.4 million worth of returns back into the community.  Let’s make 2008 even better!

• We need volunteers to work at 32 tax preparation sites located throughout the region, including City of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Northern Kentucky, Butler County, and Clermont County
• Free training and certification provided on how to prepare taxes; not only will you be giving back as a volunteer – you’ll learn a valuable skill.
• No previous experience necessary!

Volunteers commit to working a minimum of 12 hours at a tax preparation site during the January 14 – April 15, 2008 filing season.
