AARP Foundation Tax-Aide provides in-person and virtual tax assistance to anyone, free of charge, with a focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and have low to moderate income. Tax-Aide volunteers are located nationwide, and are trained and IRS-certified every year to make sure they know about and understand the latest changes and additions to the tax code.
With the help of 25,316 volunteers, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide had a very successful 2021 tax season with 852,377 federal returns filed securing $1,075,441,589 in refunds for 1,251,641 people.
Join our team of volunteers in time for next season to help people in your communities.
Training is usually completed in December and early January. This is a seasonal opportunity, with client interactions from February 1 to April 15. AARP Massachusetts is seeking new volunteers and experienced preparers who are willing to train as site supervisors, for the Reading/Wilmington/North Reading area.
