AARP Tax-Aide needs volunteers

AARP Tax-Aide, the nation’s largest free, volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance service, is seeking volunteers in Wakulla County to help Florida taxpayers who are seeking assistance preparing and filing their 2011 tax returns.

Volunteers do not need to be an AARP member or retiree to participate.
AARP Tax-Aide volunteers receive free tax training and are reimbursed on a limited basis for qualified program-related expenses. They help taxpayers at sites around the state, learning new skills while giving back to countless communities.

AARP Tax-Aide provides free tax preparation for low- and moderate-income individuals, with special attention to those 60 and older. Last year, more than 2,500 AARP Tax-Aide volunteers helped over 236,000 taxpayers across the state. They join the more than 35,000 AARP Tax-Aide volunteers across the country, helping millions of taxpayers each year.

For more information on how you can join the AARP Tax-Aide team, visit our Web site at www.aarp.org/tavolunteer8 or call Carol McAliley at 745-8091.
Deadline for application is Dec. 15.
AARP Tax-Aide is a program of the AARP Foundation, offered in conjunction with the IRS.
