All volunteers must successfully pass IRS required certification tests annually. The tests are open book. We offer an orientation, in-person and virtual class trainings through Zoom (16 hours), and virtual office hours in December and January. There is also a self-certification option provided by the IRS if you want to study at your own pace. We provide electronic and printed training materials for pick up in December/January.
