Press Release:
Are you good with numbers? Seeking Volunteer Tax Preparers
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program is gearing up to provide tax preparation services for the 2019 tax season. The program is seeking a few more volunteers to assist in the preparation of federal and state tax returns for low to moderate income individuals.
This is a wonderful growth opportunity for people interested in learning new skills, meeting new people and is a fulfilling way to help meet essential community needs.
A fantastic training program will be provided at the Genesee County Office for the Aging weekdays from 9 am to 3 pm on Monday, January 13th – Friday, January 17th, Wednesday January 22 – Friday, January 24th and Wednesday, January 29, 2020. Volunteers must pass a proficiency exam before working in teams of two, with tax appointments running from February 3rd – April 15, 2020.
In 2019, a small group of dedicated RSVP volunteers served over 1200 households, providing peace of mind along with tax filings. Many people return year after year to get their taxes done. The volunteers are known for their helpful, professional and thorough manner. The program is provided at no cost, but donations are gratefully accepted.
You don’t have to be a tax expert. If you’ve been known to complete your own tax returns from time to time or maybe consider yourself a “numbers” person, please call Courtney Iburi, RSVP Coordinator, at (585) 343-1611 to learn more.
