Tax Prep Chicago
Volunteer to help hardworking Chicagoans keep more of the cash they earn.
The City of Chicago offers free tax help to thousands of Chicago residents each year who need assistance filing their returns. If you are looking for a way to use your skills to help Chicago families and individuals save their hard-earned money, we invite you to join the 2,000+ volunteers who provide tax assistance in Chicago each year.
• IRS-approved volunteer training and certification will be provided free of charge by the City's
two nonprofit partners, the Center for Economic Progress and Ladder Up.
• No tax or finance background is required.
• After attending a 4- to 7-hour training, each organization asks for a commitment of
12-30 hours of client service at tax sites.
