Fulfilling Service br

“Tax time can be challenging for everyone, but it can be particularly stressful for those without resources,” says Linda Fitzgerald, AARP Massachusetts State President. “AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help make tax filing a simple and pleasant experience for these individuals – while also enjoying challenging and fulfilling community service.”

No Experience Necessary br

AARP Tax-Aide volunteers assist individuals with the preparation of their federal and state basic income tax returns. Even if you don’t have accounting or tax preparation experience, becoming a Tax-Aide volunteer may be right for you. AARP provides training in tax law procedures, preparing tax forms, and using tax preparation software. Training is provided in conjunction with the Internal Revenue Service and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.

Helping Thousands of Residents br

In 2010, 600 volunteers helped 40,000 Massachusetts residents with tax returns and questions.

“Each year, thousands of people return to AARP Tax-Aide and our volunteers are a big reason. They are friendly, helpful, and know what they’re doing,” explains Fitzgerald.
