Help Older Adults in Your Community

Posted on 11/14/24

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide the nation's largest free tax assistance and preparation service and provides tax assistance to anyone, free of charge, with a focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and have low to moderate income. Since 1968, Tax-Aide has helped over 80 million taxpayers receive all the credits and deductions they're entitled to. 

Every year, from early February to mid-April, our volunteers take appointments at almost 3,500 locations around the country. AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help older adults keep more of the money they’ve earned. As a Tax-Aide volunteer, you’ll receive free training, flexible hours, and ongoing support — and the fulfillment that comes from helping your neighbors. Join our team and we’ll help even more older adults in your community!

Want to explore this opportunity? This link will provide more info on volunteer opportunities that range from tax preparer to client facilitator.

Since 1968, Tax-Aide has helped over 80 million taxpayers receive all the credits and deductions they're entitled to.&nbsp;<br><br>Every year, from early February to mid-April, our volunteers take appointments at almost 3,500 locations around the country. AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help older adults keep more of the money they’ve earned. As a Tax-Aide volunteer, you’ll receive free training, flexible hours, and ongoing support — and the fulfillment that comes from helping your neighbors. Join our team and we’ll help even more older adults in your community!<br><br>Want to explore this opportunity?

Since 1968, Tax-Aide has helped over 80 million taxpayers receive all the credits and deductions they're entitled to.&nbsp;<br><br>Every year, from early February to mid-April, our volunteers take appointments at almost 3,500 locations around the country. AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help older adults keep more of the money they’ve earned. As a Tax-Aide volunteer, you’ll receive free training, flexible hours, and ongoing support — and the fulfillment that comes from helping your neighbors. Join our team and we’ll help even more older adults in your community!<br><br>Want to explore this opportunity?

AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help older adults keep more of the money they’ve earned. As a Tax-Aide volunteer, you’ll receive free training, flexible hours, and ongoing support — and the fulfillment that comes from helping your neighbors.

Since 1968, Tax-Aide has helped over 80 million taxpayers receive all the credits and deductions they're entitled to.&nbsp;<br><br>Every year, from early February to mid-April, our volunteers take appointments at almost 3,500 locations around the country. AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help older adults keep more of the money they’ve earned. As a Tax-Aide volunteer, you’ll receive free training, flexible hours, and ongoing support — and the fulfillment that comes from helping your neighbors. Join our team and we’ll help even more older adults in your community!<br><br>Want to explore this opportunity?

Since 1968, Tax-Aide has helped over 80 million taxpayers receive all the credits and deductions they're entitled to.&nbsp;<br><br>Every year, from early February to mid-April, our volunteers take appointments at almost 3,500 locations around the country. AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help older adults keep more of the money they’ve earned. As a Tax-Aide volunteer, you’ll receive free training, flexible hours, and ongoing support — and the fulfillment that comes from helping your neighbors. Join our team and we’ll help even more older adults in your community!<br><br>Want to explore this opportunity?

Since 1968, Tax-Aide has helped over 80 million taxpayers receive all the credits and deductions they're entitled to.&nbsp;<br><br>Every year, from early February to mid-April, our volunteers take appointments at almost 3,500 locations around the country. AARP Tax-Aide volunteers help older adults keep more of the money they’ve earned. As a Tax-Aide volunteer, you’ll receive free training, flexible hours, and ongoing support — and the fulfillment that comes from helping your neighbors. Join our team and we’ll help even more older adults in your community!<br><br>Want to explore this opportunity?
