Q: What was the training like? Could someone without an accounting background be successful as a volunteer? ROY: It's pretty simple. The software does most of it for you if you know how
to work it. During training, volunteers get five or six practice returns that present common tax scenarios. You fill them out and then compare them to make sure everyone got the same
outcome. I studied accounting in college, but lots of people without that background become volunteers, often after we've prepared their taxes. Anyone can do it, it just depends on
whether they want to put in the time, since training takes about 40 hours over a few weeks. SIGAL: Absolutely. You can always ask questions, and the practice sessions help a lot. If you make
mistakes, they tell you why and help you correct them.
