Tonight was my first night volunteering with VITA, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program sponsored by the IRS. I went to the Catholic Charity building downtown, and they set up a little office for me. I was there for 3 hours, and did 3 tax returns. It was very confusing, and I kept having to go ask the other woman all sorts of questions. I didn't have any problems with the taxes (except for one girl with a kid and tuition, it took 4 of us to decide what to do), but I didn't know the log-in name, what forms to keep for our records, what button to push for efile, etc. It was kind of disorganized. I thought it was pretty bad, but at the end of the night the other woman was amazed that I had done 3 returns in only 3 hours. So I guess it didn't go as bad as I thought. Good, because I'm scheduled to do this for another 5 weeks.
