Free Help with Tax Returns

The AARP® Tax-Aide™ Foundation will have trained volunteers on hand on Saturdays until the last Saturday before taxes are due. All of the volunteers are IRS certified and will be ready to answer questions related to regular (non-business) taxes.

Patrons will be asked to register at the table off of the parking lot entrance near the café on arrival and will be assisted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Volunteers will prepare tax returns for people with moderate or low income (less than $40,000 if single and less than $60,000 if filing a joint return). General assistance, such as answering questions, will be provided to anyone regardless of income level.
