VITA Tax Preparer training classes will be held in December and January. Attend either a December or January session. December class attendance is highly recommended to assure enough volunteers are trained and ready to help immediately when tax sites open in January. Space becomes limited quickly in January training classes, too. Sign up for training now to assure your spot. VITA Tax Site Greeter classes will be held in early January.
