Volunteer Opportunity Details:

AARP Tax-Aide KS District 27, which includes Johnson and Miami Counties, is looking for volunteers to do tax counseling. Each year from February 1 through April 15, AARP Tax-Aide volunteers prepare federal, state and local tax returns for low- and middle -income taxpayers, with special attention to those age 60 and older. Last year, Tax-Aide volunteers across the state of Kansas helped over 39,000 taxpayers complete their returns. Volunteers are especially needed to assist with electronic filing of tax returns. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. You don’t need to be an AARP member or be a retiree to volunteer (or to receive assistance from AARP Tax-Aide volunteers). Challenge yourself! Become a tax-Aide volunteer.

AARP Tax-Aide is a program of the AARP Foundation, offered in conjunction with the IRS.

The AARP Foundation is an affiliated, 501 (c) (3) nonpartisan charitable organization, established in 1961. It administers publicly and privately funded programs, such as AARP Tax-Aide and the AARP Senior Community Service Employment Program. The Foundation also carries out the Washington, D.C.-based advocacy programs funded through Legal Counsel for the Elderly, Inc. These programs also receive support from AARP.

AARP Tax-Aide tax counselor volunteers receive comprehensive training in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service. Basic computer skills and an ability to learn are required. Volunteers are reimbursed on a limited basis for qualified program-related expenses.
