CRESTVIEW — Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, or VITA, an IRS community initiative led by the United Way of Okaloosa-Walton Counties, seeks volunteers.
The program — which helps people with low-to-moderate income prepare their tax returns at no charge — is recruiting volunteers to work in Crestview and Fort Walton Beach. You can help by preparing and filing tax returns, or by being a greeter.
Volunteers should commit to at least four hours per week at a VITA site from Jan. 13 to April 15, 2015. They will receive IRS training and certification, and expand their knowledge of federal tax return procedures.
Email vita@united-way.org or call 243-0315 to volunteer. Include your contact information along with which location, Crestview or Fort Walton Beach, you would like to serve.
Orientation will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 8 in Fort Walton Beach and the same time Dec. 11 in Crestview.
