AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers will again be providing free income tax return preparation service to low- and moderate-income taxpayers with special attention given to those age 50 and older. Membership in AARP is not required.

Again this year all sites require an appointment, and it is very helpful if people bring along wirh their tax returns for 2016.

Appointments can only be obtained by calling 2-1-1.
