AARP volunteers offer free tax help to seniors
By Dan Eakin, deakin@starlocalnews.com
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers are at various senior citizen centers and libraries in the area one day each week to offer senior citizens and others free help on preparing their income taxes.
The volunteers offer help with electronic filing. At some locations, appointments must be made while at others only walk-ins are accepted.
Don Vasquez of AARP said, “Some tax situations are out of scope and are excluded from this free service. Taxpayers must bring a photo ID, Social Security (or ITN) card for everyone on the tax return, current tax documents and records and a copy of their 2011 (last year’s) tax return.”
AARP tax-aide volunteers are now offering free tax help with electronic filing from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays through April 13 at the Coppell Senior and Community Center, located at 345 W. Bethel Road. No appointment is needed or taken.
AARP tax help is also offered at two locations in Carrollton and one each in Lewisville and Flower Mound.
In Carrollton, tax help is offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays at the Carrollton Senior Center, located at 1720 Keller Springs Road. Taxpayers will be served according to the sign-in sheet except for repeat visits or for those with special physical and health situations. Walk-ins are welcome. Those who wish may call 972-466-4850 to find out the approximate wait time.
