AARP Tax-Aide Seeks Lincoln Volunteers
Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. You do not need to be an AARP member or retiree to volunteer. Computer-literate volunteers receive four days of free tax training and become IRS certified Counselors by passing the IRS exam. IRS and the AARP Foundation provide laptops and easy-to-use software for electronic filing. Client Facilitator volunteers don’t need to use computers or do taxes.
“It’s a great way to learn new skills, be involved in your community and help people in need one-on-one at tax sites,” said AARP Tax-Aide District Coordinator Allan Smith of Lincoln.
Leadership positions coordinate program delivery by volunteers at local sites. Although tax training and certification are encouraged, it is not required for all positions. Volunteers are asked to give a minimum commitment of 40 hours over the ten-week season. Expense reimbursement is provided for some program-related, out-of-pocket expenses. Training is planned for early December.
For more information about becoming a local AARP Tax-Aide volunteer, call or e-mail Allan Smith at: smith.allan.t@gmail.com by Oct 1.
AARP Tax-Aide is administered through the AARP Foundation in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service. The AARP Foundation is an affiliated, 501 (c)(3) nonpartisan charitable organization. The AARP Foundation administers publicly and privately funded programs, such as AARP Tax-Aide and the AARP Senior Community Service Employment Program.
