LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – AARP Foundation is looking to expand its team of volunteers for the upcoming tax season by recruiting interested individuals in Lake County.
Tax-Aide is an AARP Foundation program that offers free tax filing help for those who need it most, especially adults 50 and older, during the tax season.
Volunteer tax preparers complete free tax preparation training and IRS certification prior to working with taxpayers.
Last year, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers in California helped thousands of people file their federal and state tax returns. The program is offered at libraries, senior centers and other sites throughout the Bay Area.
Taxpayers who used AARP Foundation Tax-Aide received $1.41 billion in income tax refunds and more than $240 million in Earned Income Tax Credits. Taxpayers do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use this program.
To learn about our volunteer opportunities, visit www.aarpfoundation.org/taxaide or call 1-888OURAARP (1-888-687-2277). AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in coordination with the IRS.
AARP Foundation works to ensure that low-income older adults have nutritious food, safe and affordable housing, a steady income, and strong and sustaining social bonds. Learn more at www.aarpfoundation.org .
