AARP Tax-Aide helps low- and middle-income taxpayers file their personal income tax returns. Volunteers are trained to assist in filing the 1040 tax form and basic schedules. Taxpayers with complex tax returns are advised to seek paid tax assistance.
Electronic filing (e-filing) is offered.
E-filing ensures a more accurate tax return and faster processing of tax refunds.
