As a volunteer preparer, you can have a real impact on New Yorkers’ lives. With just a few hours a week, you will help about five families complete their tax returns and claim valuable tax credits. By the end of the season, you’ll complete about 40 tax returns, helping your neighbors claim more than $90,000 in refunds and tax preparation fee savings.
