What Is the AARP Tax-Aide Program?
The AARP Tax-Aide program is one of the nation’s largest free, volunteer-run tax preparation services. Backed by AARP Foundation, the program has helped millions of taxpayers file accurate returns for more than 50 years.
While the service is especially geared toward adults age 50 and older, tax assistance is available to anyone who qualifies, with a focus on individuals and families who may not have access to professional tax preparation services.
Certified volunteers receive IRS training each year to help ensure returns are prepared accurately and in compliance with current federal tax laws. For many residents in Cross Creek Ranch, this service provides both financial savings and peace of mind during tax season.
