Join Boston Cares and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) Coalition in educating low- and moderate-income wage earners about maximizing their tax returns through the Earned Income Tax Credit. Mayor Menino’s EITC Campaign is entering its eighth year of providing free tax preparation to low- and moderate-income taxpayers and increasing EITC awareness. During the tax season of 2009, Boston’s EITC Campaign served over 13,000 households to return $17.2 million in refunds to taxpayers. Volunteer opportunities are available to help clients prepare tax returns, pull credit reports, and enroll in public benefits programs such as food stamps or health insurance. Any volunteer is welcome, and bilingual volunteers are needed. Comprehensive training is provided. Boston Cares will be hosting four information sessions for you to “Meet the Coalition” and get more information about how to be an EITC volunteer on the following dates:
October 26th from 6:00-7:30pm.
November 10th from 6:00-7:30pm.
November 17th from 6:30-8:00pm.
November 19th from 6:00-7:30pm.
This project is open to the public. You may participate by registering with Boston Cares.
