Taxes and Medicare

The AARP Foundation’s Tax-Aide desires to offer this free service again- targeted toward seniors with whom having their taxes done outside of AARP would be a financial burden. Due to Covid, taxpayers will not meet face-to-face with volunteer tax preparers and less appointments will be available. Taxpayers can make an appointment to come to the Senior Center to fill out the normal form, answer a few questions, and have their information form and tax documents “scanned” into a secure system. The volunteers will prepare the tax return during the following week  phoning the taxpayers, as needed, with additional questions and to review the completed tax return. The taxpayer will be given a second appointment to come back to the Senior Center to sign their return and receive a copy for their records. For more information, view page 11 of our newsletter here. We will begin taking appointments on Jan 19.
