About the Program
For 18 years, United Way of Central Alabama has helped thousands of low-to-moderate income people each season by preparing and filing their tax returns free of charge, bringing back as much as 2 million dollars of refunds each year. With recent changes to tax laws and expansion of tax credits, the need for this service is bigger than ever.
Join our team and help our neighbors get free trustworthy assistance at tax time to claim the credits they are due and connect with other United Way services that can help them reach their goals.
About the Greeter Role
Tax Greeters welcome customers for their drop off appointments and match them with a Tax Preparer, who will further assist them.
A brief self-paced training and open book certification is required for greeters, which can be completed in one hour or less.
By registering, you will automatically receive an email with further instructions on how to become a certified volunteer greeter.
Questions? Feel free to email us at taxvol@uwca.org.
Each volunteer must complete annual IRS Certification before volunteering. A link to complete a background check will be provided after receipt of certification completion.
