Volunteer Interest Form

United Way of the Plains offers three different ways you can file your taxes for free.

Volunteers are the backbone of our free tax filing services

Powered by the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program from the IRS, United Way’s Free Tax Filing Services annually helps thousands of low-to-moderate-income households in our community file their taxes for free and access refunds vital for supporting their budget. We annually recruit 150+ volunteers to help file taxes and serve as site greeters.

If you are interested in serving as a volunteer for next year’s tax season, held January through April 2026, complete the form below. At this time, we are working to finalize participating sites and schedules. By completing this form, you will be among the first volunteers notified by email this fall when you can sign up to serve in a specific role at a specific site. Details regarding training will be available that that time as well.

Questions? Contact Kristie Costa, United Way VITA Program Manager, at kcosta@unitedwayplains.org or (316) 267-1321 ext. 4215.

Name
Level up as a site coordinator! Serving as a paid (or volunteer) site coordinator is a great opportunity to take on a little more responsibility, support your fellow volunteers, and help make a tax prep site run smoothly. We’ve found that some of the best coordinators are people who already know how things work from the ground up—just like you!
