The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program needs additional volunteers for free income tax preparation in New London and Andover. AARP and the IRS sponsor the program for middle and low income taxpayers and the elderly. Presently we have 12 volunteers. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. You don’t need to be an AARP member or a retiree to volunteer.

“The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program is a wonderful resource for the American taxpayer,” said Ron Koron, local coordinator. “AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers get a great deal of satisfaction from helping people deal with the challenges of preparing their tax forms. If you want to help others with their tax returns, this is the program for you.”

We need individuals who have some basic income tax preparation experience together with good computer skills. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers receive comprehensive training in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service. After training and passing a written test, you will become certified to prepare tax returns.

You will work two half-days each week beginning February 1, 2017.  If you are interested, call Ron Koron at 526-8018.
