Bad Weather/Emergency Plans:

During periods of severely inclement weather, notification about delays in opening or closure of the tax sites will be sent out by email and phone calls to all scheduled volunteers. Even if the site does not close, if you feel unsafe or unable to travel to the site due to inclement weather, notify your site coordinator as soon as possible.

This is our third year providing bilingual tax preparation for SWPA’s Spanish-speaking communities, and our first year partnering with Casa San Jose.  Nearly all of the taxpayers at this site speak Spanish as their primary language, and many of them are applying for Individual Taxpayer ID Numbers (ITINs) for themselves and their family.  This site is growing each year, and our goal is to help 150 households this tax season with your help!
