A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm calling to ask about emergency financial assistance.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Free Tax Preparation Assistance program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Households needing free tax-preparation help, especially lower-income filers?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Seasonal tax program; call during tax season for appointments. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call to ask about appointment availability and income eligibility for tax help.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
