Anyone participate as a tax preparer in the IRS' Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program? If so, how was it and what was the preparation needed to become a participant?
This year I had two taxpayers (separate cases) who were over 100.Every blue moon, you get a case that is even more rewarding:
I enjoy doing it, now that I am retired.For those that have volunteered, is there any requirement beyond a standard understanding of the tax code? That is, could a person who has done their own taxes for most of their life be able to help?
It sounds like an interesting, and fulfilling volunteer opportunity.

The group I worked with were very flexible on hours and days, but reliability on the time promised was important. There were limited numbers of laptops provided so scheduling to maximize resources was vital.Thanks to everyone for your replies! I just had one other question. How flexible are the programs regarding working hours. I wouldn't want to work more than two times a week; maybe 3 hours a day.
