Volunteers with the AARP Tax-Aide program began accepting appointments on February 1.

Tax-Aide provides a FREE tax preparation service, including electronic filing of returns during the tax season for anyone who needs it, according to Dennis.
“Tax-Aide provides FREE tax preparation service, including electronic filing of returns during the tax season for anyone who needs it,” said Dixie Dennis, a volunteer tax preparer for the Tax-Aide program. ” There are no upper or lower income or age limits for Tax-Aide assistance and there is no requirement to be an AARP member.”
Some of the items that are out of scope and cannot be prepared by the volunteers include rental property income (except land only), farm income, certain income items on Schedule K-1, moving expenses, casualty, and theft losses, the Alternative Minimum Tax and loss from a self-employment business.
But if you want to itemize, they can help you with that.
Dennis said if you are a new client, there will be some things you will need to bring with you to your appointment.
“They include rental property income (except land only), farm income, certain income items on Schedule K-1, moving expenses, casualty, and theft losses, the Alternative Minimum Tax, and loss from a self-employment business,” she explained. “But if you want to itemize a standard return, we can help you with that.”
Dennis said all of the tax preparers are trained by the IRS and AARP and they are certified by the IRS.
