November 27, 2012 · 1:09 AM

MARYSVILLE — The United Way of Snohomish County will provide free tax preparation services in Snohomish County, and is looking for volunteers to offer those services at the Marysville Goodwill Job Training and Education Center from Jan. 22 to April 15, 2013.

Free tax training is available and will be conducted on Saturday, Dec. 1, as well as Tuesday, Dec. 4, and Thursday, Dec. 6, at the United Way office in Everett.

Typically, volunteers commit between three and six hours each week during the tax season, and are expected to work one-on-one with customers, using intake forms and computer software to electronically file tax returns and help families receive all the tax credits for which they are eligible.
