VITA Lunch and Learn Hosted by AGA/IRS ASMC volunteer opportunity

1. VITA Lunch and LearnHosted by AGA/IRSASMC volunteer opportunity “The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is a national program providing free assistance to low income, elderly, limited English proficient, and disabled individuals who require assistance in preparing their tax returns and cannot afford services of a paid professional taxpayer. The volunteer sites generally operate between mid-January and continue until April 15. Volunteers are trained through an instructional seminar by the IRS held here at DFAS or through self study online. A tax background is not required. Volunteers are welcome to volunteer as many or as few hours as they are available, though the IRS prefers a minimum of 3 hours per shift. The Association of Government Accountants (AGA) Indianapolis Chapter promotes participation in VITA by linking volunteers to the program and facilitating on-site training. There will be Lunch and Learn on December 3, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in conference room 229AA to sign up interested individuals and provide training dates along with how to obtain materials. Pizza will be provided. Questions should be referred to Amy Sargent at 212-6630. “ Permission to reprint for ASMC purposes authorized by Amy Sargent, AGA Sandy Arnold, CAC
