When you have completed your student training path, you'll be asked to fill out an evaluation survey about the course to help the IRS evaluate its effectiveness as a training tool for volunteers. Your opinions about the web-based training are important to the IRS. With your feedback, we can work to improve the training materials for individuals involved with the VITA/TCE programs. You only need to fill out the evaluation once. Your feedback will be strictly anonymous. You can access the evaluation survey by clicking here.


An Electronic Tax Software Practice Lab is available for VITA/TCE volunteers.
