IRON MOUNTAIN — The AARP Foundation and the Dickinson County Library are looking to expand their team of volunteers for the upcoming tax season, by recruiting individuals interested in tax preparation.

Tax-Aide is an AARP Foundation program that has a mission to provide free and high-quality income tax preparation to low- and moderate-income taxpayers, with special attention to those age 50 and older.

Last year, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers helped more than 70,000 Michigan residents file their federal and state tax returns.

The program is offered at nearly 200 sites in Michigan — six in the Upper Peninsula — including senior centers, libraries and other convenient locations.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers receive training and continued support in a welcoming environment.

Volunteer tax preparers complete tax preparation training and IRS certification prior to working with taxpayers. Preparers are currently needed in the Iron Mountain area.

Anyone interested in becoming a Tax-Aide volunteer can sign up at aarpfoundation.org/taxaide, or call 906-256-0584. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in coordination with the IRS.
