AARP Tax Aide - Lake Arlington 2012

AARP Tax-Aide is a free, confidential service which prepares tax returns and answers tax questions.  AARP Tax-Aide volunteers will be in the Arlington libraries from January 28, 2012 until April 17, 2012 to help low- and middle-income taxpayers (with special attention to those age 60 and older) fill out their federal income tax returns. AARP Tax-Aide also provides online assistance that includes a list of frequently asked questions and a form to email questions to Tax-Aide volunteers. For more information, please contact AARP directly by calling toll-free, 1-888-AARPNOW (1-888-227-7669) or visit their website.
