Tax Site Manager
Community Action Duluth
Reports To: Executive Director
Supervises: Two staff and 60+ volunteers.
Employment Type: Full-time and benefits eligible.
FLSA Status: Non-Exempt
Position Description: The Tax Site Manager is responsible for independently overseeing the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site. The VITA program is sponsored by the IRS and is designed to provide free tax help to taxpayers who:
· Generally make less than $57,000;
· Have a disability; or
· Speak limited English.
The goal of the program is to eliminate barriers to filing taxes to help low-income people receive the refunds to which they are entitled and fulfill a legal requirement. For many in poverty, a tax refund is the largest single annual payment that can help support basic needs or invest in assets to help rise out of poverty, such as transportation or housing. Additionally, both the federal and state governments offer credits for low-income people that can only be accessed through filing. For those who experience disabilities, lack the education to file for themselves, and lack the money to pay a preparer, volunteer-powered Free Tax Sites are their only option to file a return and access the refunds to which they are entitled.
Schedule: The Tax Site Manager is a full-time role, which means that they must work at least 32 hours per week in the non-tax season. During the tax season, January 1st through April 15th, the Tax Site Manager works normal office hours three days per week and historically has held clinics from 11:00am to 10:00pm the two other weekdays and has held a clinic between 7:30am and 1:00pm on Saturdays. The specifics of these clinics are ultimately the decision of the Tax Site Manager. Overtime is likely during the tax season.
Essential Duties:
· Run a tax site with complex systems which performs over 1,500 tax returns per year.
· Manage the tax site’s grants, including applying for federal, state, and local funding.
