Tax aide program seeking volunteers for 2015 tax season in St. Lawrence County

Posted

Free tax preparation will be available throughout St. Lawrence County again from Feb. 1 to Apr. 15.

The AARP tax aide program is seeking volunteers to work a minimum of one four-hour shift per week between those dates.

They will help low- and middle-income people, with an emphasis on those age 60 and older, prepare federal and state tax returns.

AARP tax counselors receive free training and become IRS-certified after taking an exam.

No experience is necessary. Volunteers do not need to be retired or AARP members.

Once approved, tax preparers will be assigned to a site in their communities.

Training sessions are slated from Dec. 8 to 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Canton Knights of Columbus, Miner Street.

To register, go to www.aarp.org/money/taxaide/ or call 212-0450.
