The ABA Section of Taxation is pleased to offer “one stop shopping” for all VITA Certification at the 2006 Midyear Meeting in San Diego!

Representatives of the IRS and TaxWise (the software used by the IRS for volunteer income tax preparation) will be present throughout the meeting to provide hands-on training for members interested in volunteering to prepare individual income tax returns for the 2006 filing season through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.  Members will be able to obtain their required certifications to become VITA volunteers by taking the online examinations in one or more of the four IRS “Link & Learn” modules, i.e., Basic, Wage Earner, Pension Earner, and Military.  Members can also be trained in the use of the TaxWise software by representatives of the software vendor.  All training is free of charge to members registered for the meeting.

Training will be held continuously throughout the meeting on Friday and Saturday from 8:30am to 5:30pm.  Advance registration for the training is encouraged but not required.  To register, please check the appropriate box on the Registration and Ticket Purchase Form in the back of this Preliminary Program, or online at http://meetings/abanet.org/meeting/tax/MID06.
