AARP Seeks

Tax Volunteers

The Connecticut AARP Tax-Aide Tax Counseling For The Elderly program is actively 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 who 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 member to volunteer nor do they need to be retired. The Internal Revenue Service in conjunction with Tax-Aide will train volunteers to process tax returns electronically. Training starts in November. All Tax-Aide volunteers are required to pass an annual IRS examination to become certified.

Email AARP Tax-Aide at ctvoltaxaide@juno.com if interested in becoming a member of this team of volunteers. Provide name, address, and telephone number.
