Important Announcements -->
The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program is the largest free tax preparation service in the nation. We partner with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (VITA/TCE) program to prepare taxes for low and moderate income taxpayers, with special attention to seniors.
We are a coalition of approximately 50 AARP Foundation Tax-Aide tax preparation sites. We prepare federal and state tax returns for individuals of all ages and most occupations. There are no charges for our services.
When you come for your free tax preparation appointment, you will need to bring some items. The more information you bring, the more accurately we can prepare your return.
An appointment is not a guarantee that we can prepare your return. Our volunteers are trained in many aspects of tax law regarding preparation tax returns for individuals; but, some tax matters are considered “Out-of-Scope”.

The Internal Revenue Service issued frequently asked questions to help taxpayers, businesses, and other stakeholders understand the changes under Executive Order 14247: Modernizing Payment To and From America’s Bank Account.
These changes apply to:
Payments sent by the federal government, including tax refunds, benefits, grants, and vendor or contractor payments; and
Payments made to the federal government, including tax balances due, fees, penalties, and other payments from individuals, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and state or local partners.
Taxpayers are encouraged to:
Use direct deposit for refunds by providing accurate bank or prepaid debit card information when filing.
Choose electronic payment options when paying taxes, such as IRS Direct Pay, Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, or other approved methods.
Review account information to ensure bank details are current and correct.
Visit IRS.gov to learn about electronic payment options and available resources for taxpayers without a bank account.
