Tax Assistance by Montgomery County AARP Tax-Aide is finished for 2022

AmeriCorps Seniors /AARP Foundation Montgomery County Tax-Aide

The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program is the nation's largest free, volunteer-run tax preparation service. Volunteers in this program prepare taxes for low and moderate income taxpayers, with special attention to seniors. The national program helps over 2.6 million taxpayers every year, with over 35,000 volunteers at over 5,000 sites. Each year we prepare nearly 5,000 federal and state (Maryland) returns.
