AARP tax-aide seeks volunteers

AARP Tax-Aide, the nation’s largest, free, volunteer-run tax counseling preparation service is looking for individuals who want to learn tax law, basic income tax preparation and help others.

Each year from Feb. 1 through April 15, AARP Tax Aide volunteers prepare tax returns for middle and low-income taxpayers, with special attention to those age 60 and older. Volunteers are needed to help as tax counselors, greeters, publicity and other positions in this important activity. Individuals volunteering as tax counselors need to have good computer skills to assist with electronic filing. Tax-Aide asks volunteers to commit to a minimum of four hours per week from Feb. 1 to April 15, in addition to time spent training in January.

Tax-Aide will have a number of free tax preparation sites at the Pasadena City Hall and others in Harris, Galveston and Brazoria Counties.

Last year nationally, more than 32,000 Tax-Aide volunteers helped more than 2 million people file their personal income tax forms. The program is offered at more than 7,000 sites around the country including senior centers, libraries and other convenient locations.

For more information about becoming a local Tax-Aide volunteer, call toll-free 1-888-OURAARP (888-687-2277), or visit our web site at www.aarp.org/taxaide and someone will contact you.
