In connection with its ongoing effort to promote members’ interest in volunteer opportunities, the Taxation Section helps to solicit volunteers to provide tax assistance in a various ways, including:

• Upon request, and under the auspices of the IRS’ Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program, the Section helps solicit volunteers to assist the IRS in offering tax return preparation services to military personnel at no cost.
• Upon request, and through the DC Earned Income Tax Credit Campaign, the Section helps in soliciting volunteers to provide information about the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) at various return preparation locations during the tax filing season.
• On a monthly basis, the Section solicits a tax-attorney volunteer to help staff the D.C. Bar Pro-Bono Program’s Advice and Referral Clinic.

The Section requests volunteers through e-mail requests and announcements at Section luncheon meetings.
