Many low, moderate and middle income people in Northern New Jersey, especially those 60 and older, need help preparing their annual taxes. Volunteer with AARP Foundation, Tax-Aide. Help those in need to get all of the deductions and credits they deserve and only pay in taxes their fair share.
No need to be a senior or a member of AARP to volunteer, just someone wanting to help others. Training is provided in late fall / early winter and taxes are prepared in February thru April 15. Don’t need any prior tax experience – just a willingness to participate.
Everyone preparing taxes undergoes certification thru an IRS testing process. In Morris County for the 2016 tax year, 70 volunteers volunteering at 12 different sites prepared and e-filed more than 3,000 federal tax returns, a comparable number of state tax returns and Senior Freeze Act returns (PTR’s) and answered more than 400 inquiries.
