AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Seeking Volunteers

The AARP Foundation and the Escanaba Public Library are looking to expand their

team of volunteers for the upcoming tax season, by recruiting individuals interested in

tax preparation. Tax-Aide is an AARP Foundation program whose mission is to provide

high quality, free income tax preparation to low and moderate income taxpayers, with

special attention to those age 60 and older.

Last year, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers helped more than 70,000 Michigan

residents file their federal and state tax returns. The program is offered at nearly 200

sites in Michigan (6 in the Upper Peninsula) including senior centers, libraries and other

convenient locations.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers receive training and continued support in a

welcoming environment. Volunteer tax preparers complete tax preparation training and

IRS certification prior to working with taxpayers. Preparers are currently needed in

the Escanaba and Iron Mountain areas.

Anyone interested in becoming a Tax-Aide volunteer can sign up at

aarpfoundation.org/taxaide, or call -906-256-0584. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide

is offered in coordination with the IRS.
