Looking for a way to give back? Become a volunteer with Indy Free Tax Prep

INDIANAPOLIS – United Way of Central Indiana is seeking volunteers for Indy Free Tax Prep, a program that provides free tax preparation services to people and families with a household income of $66,000 or less in 2022.  

The program will run from late January through the end of April in Boone, Hendricks, Marion and Morgan counties.  

Volunteers must be 18 or older, and roles include greeters, reviewers, tax preparers, interpreters and tax coaches.  

Those interested can sign up by the end the January at volunteercentralindiana.org/vita.  

Volunteer tax preparers must complete about 10 hours of online or in-person training to become IRS certified. Training is free, and no prior tax experience is required.  

Last year, volunteers filed about 4,440 tax returns, helping people receive about $6.3 million in federal refunds. The program has helped more than 44,000 households get roughly $40 million in tax refunds since 2015.
