Tax Volunteers- October Newsletter

 

Tax season can be a confusing time for some people in our community and United Way of Central Florida is once again working to relieve some of that stress. But we need your help.

UWCF is looking for volunteers to help families and individuals save money. Starting now, you can sign up for a free course to be a certified tax volunteer.

After the training course to become a certified IRS tax volunteer, which will be held in November and December, volunteers work for a minimum of two hours a week from February to April.

We have helped families save an average of $200 on their tax returns. In the 2016 filing year, our community had a 20% savings rate.

Last year, UWCF volunteers helped save fees of nearly $100,000 for hard working families. We helped families put $185,000 into savings with this UWCF project assisting family financial stability.

Free Tax Preparation is available to families or individuals with incomes up to $64,000. You can arrange an appointment at uwcf.org/money starting in January for an IRS certified volunteer to prepare your taxes.
