Spanish – English Interpreter
Assist Spanish speaking adults to complete their taxes by translating at a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site.
The New York City Financial Network Action Consortium (NYCfNAC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income city residents gain access to affordable financial services. We provide FREE tax preparation through community-based credit unions in East Harlem and the Lower East Side in Manhattan, and Bedford Stuyvesant and Bushwick in Brooklyn. Last year, our program generated $6.98 million in tax refunds for nearly 4,500 low-income households.
Your help is needed to permit these families to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and receive all the refunds they are due. An estimated $500 million per year is being lost to New York City residents by EITC-eligible families that do not claim their refunds.
Volunteer interpreters will be asked to:
• Work 3- 4 hours per week during the 13-week tax season (Jan 14 – Apr 15)
• Provide 1-1 translation between Spanish-speaking tax filers and English-speaking volunteer tax preparers
• Day, evening, and weekend hours are available
