AARP Seeks Tax Counselors

The Connecticut AARP Tax-Aide Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program is seeking volunteers who want to be part of  a team that provides one-on-one help in the preparation of income tax returns.

Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome.

Tax Counseling for the Elderly is a free, confidential service run by volunteers to prepare federal and state tax returns. The service is offered at more than 100 sites in Connecticut to middle- and low-income people of all ages with special attention to those 60 and older.

Volunteers do not need to be an AARP volunteer, nor do they need to be retired. Volunteers will be trained by the Internal Revenue Service in conjunction with Tax-Aide to process tax returns electronically. Training starts in December for new volunteers. Email AARP at ctvoltaxaide@juno.com to become a member of the team of volunteers; provide your name, address, and telephone number in the email.
