Volunteers (Oakland County) 
 
     The
AARP Tax-Aide Program is a national volunteer program founded in 1968 and sponsored
by the IRS and the AARP Foundation, in partnership with local community centers.
 
Tax aide
volunteers are being recruited now, for Southeast Oakland County, to provide
free tax preparation services to low and moderate income taxpayers, especially
seniors. Volunteers of all ages are needed for tax preparation and support
positions:
·         Good with numbers? Be a tax volunteer
·         Skilled in all things digital? Be a technology
coordinator
·         Organized? Help sort tax paperwork, distribute
materials, etc.
·         Love working with people? Be a greeter.
·         Want to help us get the word out? Be a
communications coordinator.
This past
year our local Tax-Aide sites provided free tax preparation or tax counseling to over 4,000 citizens of SE Oakland County and
its surrounding communities.  The 
majority of these local clients are low income seniors in Berkley, Birmingham,
Bloomfield, Clawson, Ferndale, Madison Heights, Royal Oak, Southfield, Troy and
surrounding communities.
 
Volunteers
will receive training in tax law, tax return preparation and IRS tax software during
the month of January, 2015 for the tax season starting in February.
