SaveFirst is currently seeking to fill their part-time positions available including SaveFirst Quality Reviewer (Jan - Apr 2023) and Tax Site Coordinator (Dec 2022 - Apr 2023). The internships consist of training to become IRS certified and assisting with tax return preparation in an oversight role.

SaveFirst is an initiative that provides free tax preparation to low-income, working families. This program is provided through the IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) for qualified individuals and is a program of Impact America.

Every tax season, America's hardest-working families rely on their tax refund to support household
expenses. Unfortunately, they face exorbitant, negligent, and sometimes fraudulent preparers that cost our communities millions in fees. SaveFirst provides free tax preparation services and meaningful opportunities for savings.
