TAX ASSISTANCE
The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program will again provide free tax preparation assistance beginning in February, 2021. AARP does not have specific income guidelines, but taxpayers with complex tax returns are advised to seek other tax services.
This year tax help will be provided by appointment only with a process that is tailored to meet the state and federal guidelines for operating in the COVID-19 pandemic.
