The coalition’s staff will provide 15 hours of free training and prepare volunteers for IRS certification. Ideally, volunteers would provide three to four hours per week from late January through mid-April.

Volunteer greeters will welcome taxpayers and answer questions as well as help them to complete and organize paperwork. They will also learn how the process works and be ready to assist with three to four hours of training.

In 2023, the Free Tax Prep Coalition of Southwest PA brought $11 million back into the pockets of people in the region. Since 2003, Just Harvest has completed nearly 49,000 tax returns and refunded roughly $92 million to low-income families. 

Volunteer sites are located in Allegheny, Armstrong, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland counties. Registration is open for those who want to volunteer. Any further questions should be addressed to Anna Woomer, Just Harvest’s free tax prep volunteer director, at annaw@justharvest.org.
