State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks is encouraging Michigan residents to make a difference and help out this tax season by volunteering with free tax preparation programs such as the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, the Tax Counseling for the Elderly and the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide programs.
A state news release says these programs offer no-cost, high-quality tax preparation services to low- and moderate-income households, seniors, individuals with disabilities and those who speak English as a second language.
Each year, thousands of Michiganders rely on these services to file their returns, claim important tax credits and more.
State Treasurer Eubanks says, “By volunteering, you can play a direct role in helping your neighbors achieve financial security while also gaining valuable skills and experience.”
Officials say no tax experience is required, and anyone can get involved.Volunteers received free training and IRS certification. Training options are both online and in person.
