Assistance is offered at
various
community
locations, including schools,
churches,
senior
citizen
centers, libraries, and many
other locations throughout
the state.
Generally,
volunteers
include members of these
community
organizations,

background. This year as in
years past, the Oregon
Society of CPA’s is providing
their
support
for
the
program by furnishing in
structors, quality reviewers,
and preparers.
•We are looking for people
who want to help and who
like a challenge," Ruiz said.
"Individuals
who
have
prepared their own returns
in the past, who can meet and
deal with a variety of people,
and take pride in complete
and accurate work are
candidates for the VITA
program."
"One exciting thing about
the program," said Ruiz, "is
that our volunteers come
back year after year. Nearly
half of our volunteer force
are returnees, which goes to
show that there must be
something in it for them.
VITA is interesting and
rewarding work."

While employees may not
get their W-2 Forms, Annual
Wage and Tax Statements,
until the end of January, in
many cases they can begin
organizing their records and
completing parts of the
return now. said Short.
Often, employers use a
paycheck stub which sum
marizes tax information for
the employee on every
payday, accumulating the
amounts of wages paid and
taxes withheld for the year.
Persons who are required
to estimate their taxes may
be able to waive the final
installment, normally due on
Jan. 16, if they file their
returns and pay the tax due
by Feb. 2.

The VITA program has
been growing steadily in
Oregon. In 1980, VITA
volunteers
assisted
in
preparing over 4,000 federal
returns and many more for
the state. "We anticipate
there w ill be more than ever
a need for VITA in 1981,"
Ruiz added. "We are very
much in need of some
willing,
hard-working
volunteers
in
locations
throughout Oregon.”
