AARP Foundation Tax-Aide provides tax assistance to anyone, free of charge, with a focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and have low to moderate income. You don’t need to be an AARP member to use the service.
Since 1968, Tax-Aide has helped over 82 million taxpayers receive all the credits and deductions they’re entitled to. Volunteers are IRS-certified every year, so they understand the latest changes and additions to the tax code. You can choose to have an IRS-certified volunteer prepare your taxes or provide coaching so you can prepare them yourself. Get started with free tax assistance.
Tax-Aide is the nation’s largest free tax assistance and preparation service. Every year, from early February to mid-April, our volunteers take appointments at over 3,600 locations around the country, including throughout Northeast Ohio. You can find them in libraries, malls, banks and community centers in all 50 states.
Here’s a list of documents you will need to bring to your appointment.
