Every year, Norwescap teams up with the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, and other community partners, to provide free tax preparation for poverty-level community members, seniors and people with disabilities, in our Warren and Sussex County regions. VITA is the number-one anti-poverty tool in the U.S. Last year the refund total in the U.S. was $512 billion and the Norwescap VITA refund total was over $800,000. These funds assist community members with their financial stability.
Volunteers are essential to this vital service! No experience is necessary and free training is provided to ready volunteers to prepare both federal and state tax returns. Volunteer opportunities include, tax preparer, greeter/intake specialist and tax appointment scheduler.
