Help seniors prepare income taxes correctly!
The AARP Tax Aid Program assists seniors and low-income Baltimore County residents in completing their basic tax returns from February through Mid-April each year, Taxes are prepared primarily in Senior Centers scattered throughout the County, as well as at several libraries, by trained tax teams who are lead by a seasoned tax coordinator.
Volunteers receive free comprehensive training in early January (6 + days for new volunteer, 3 days for returning volunteers). They must complete a written exam in order to become certified to counsel individuals and file their Federal and Maryland State income tax forms, and if indicated their earned income returns. All returns are filed via e-filing.
If intested, call the RSVP office at 410-887-3101 or email volunteers@baltimorecountymd.gov to learn more about the requirements for this opportunity.
