To a neighbor in the Mon Valley, a tax refund will make a world of difference. You can make it happen. Join us as a Free Tax Prep volunteer at the Human Services Center Mon Valley (HSCMV) in Turtle Creek! 

We are looking for Greeters (to make taxpayers feel welcome at the site and help with organizing paperwork) and Tax Preparers (who will do the data entry from tax forms.) There is NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED for either position!

Last year, volunteers assisted with over 700 returns adding up to nearly $900,000 back to our community. These critical dollars put food on the table, paid heating bills, furthered education, and more.

Prospective volunteers will undergo FREE training (in December & January) to ensure they meet the IRS guidelines. HSCMV will provide in-person tax preparation January – April on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

What we’re looking for from volunteers:

• 3-hour commitment per week to prepare taxes {morning, afternoon, and evening shifts available}
• Act 33 and Act 34 clearances {free for volunteers}
• Attend tax law trainings
• Successful completion of IRS certification exam (for preparers)
• Successful completion of the Intake/Interview/Quality Review quiz and Volunteer Ethics quiz (for both greeters and preparers)
• Prompt, efficient, organized, self-directed, and detail-oriented
• Passion for community service

If you, or someone you know, might be interested in becoming a free tax preparation volunteer at HSCMV, please contact Stephanie Eson (seson@hscmonvalley.org) or 412-829-7112.
