NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — United Way of Greater Nashville is looking for volunteers to help low income individuals and families prepare their taxes.
This is part of United Way's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance free tax prep program.
The organization is looking for greeters, tax preppers, reviewers, and site coordinators.
You do not need to have previous tax experience. Volunteers who sign up can choose their site location and register for training based on which role they want to take to help.
This will help those who qualify for this program make sure they file correctly, earn money back with tax credits, save on fees, and build financial stability.
For the 2022 tax season, the program filed almost 9,000 returns for Middle Tennesseans, helping taxpayers save $2 million in tax preparing fees.
Volunteers help each family save an average of more than $300 which can instead go towards groceries, rent, or childcare.
Volunteers can sign up here.

Tax prep begins late January.
Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
