What is a key responsibility of a Site Coordinator?

The key responsibility of a Site Coordinator in the VITA/TCE program is to ensure compliance with IRS procedures. This role is crucial because the Site Coordinator must oversee the operation of the tax assistance site, ensuring that all volunteers adhere to IRS policies and guidelines. This compliance includes maintaining confidentiality, following correct tax preparation protocols, and ensuring that the site meets all standards set by the IRS. By ensuring these procedures are followed, the Site Coordinator helps maintain the quality and integrity of the tax preparation services provided to clients.

Additionally, compliance with IRS procedures is essential for the protection of both the volunteers and the clients receiving assistance. It helps to safeguard sensitive financial information and ensures that clients receive accurate and reliable tax preparation services. This responsibility is fundamental for the effective operation of the VITA/TCE program.
