United Way of Northern New Jersey is seeking the assistance of area residents to sign up as volunteer tax preparers to help ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) and poverty-level households throughout the northern New Jersey region avoid the high cost of preparation fees during tax season. Despite working hard, ALICE workers struggle to afford life's basics.

No experience required! A free training program provides all the information needed to prepare both federal and state tax returns and to become an IRS-certified tax prep volunteer. Training is offered both online and in person.

Serving as a volunteer tax preparer is a tangible way to give back to the community and help your fellow neighbors in need. During the last tax season, volunteers helped United Way and its partners file more than 5,600 tax returns across the region, saving ALICE households an estimated $1.5 million in tax preparation fees.

Along with becoming a volunteer tax preparer, there are other opportunities to get involved during tax season. Volunteers are also needed to:

Greet clients and assist with necessary paperwork

Provide translation services

Help residents find additional community services that may be available to them

Offer administrative support, such as scheduling and other office tasks

For more information or to volunteer, contact Monica.Conover@UnitedWayNNJ.org.
