BE A PART OF THE CONNECTICUT VOLUNTEER TEAM
Make a difference in the 2026 Tax Season
During the 2025 tax season, our volunteers have helped approximately 14,000 people file their taxes for free – – saving them money and stress while bringing millions of tax dollars back into our communities.
You don’t need tax experience to join us. We provide free IRS-certified training and all the support you need. Whether you prefer working in person or from home, there’s a role for you!
Your time will directly help families, seniors, students, and individuals in need. Even a few hours a week can change many lives.
