Become a Tax-Aide Volunteer!
Help Those In Need Get Their Taxes Done For Free!
Iowa AARP Foundation Tax-Aide offers free federal and state income tax preparation and filing to seniors and low-to-moderate income families in the Cedar Valley.
What we are looking for:
Friendly individuals to join us for the upcoming tax season.
You will receive training, support, and work with dedicated volunteers.
If you are comfortable using a laptop and already file your own taxes, you've got this!
Our sites are located in various community centers and churches and generally open one or more days per week during the filing season. We're seeking additional volunteers to serve as greeters, intake specialists and tax counselors.
How this makes a difference in our community:
Many of our clients cannot afford to have their taxes prepared by a paid tax service, and they don't have the knowledge or skills to do their own taxes. Getting free assistance from Tax-Aide enables low- to moderate-income families to claim valuable tax credits and refunds they might otherwise forfeit, enabling them to remain more self-sufficient.
What you will get out of this volunteer opportunity:
As our many long-time returning volunteers can attest, the dedication of our team members and the gratitude of our clients will keep you coming back year after year.
For more information,
Contact District Coordinator Melissa Heston at [email protected] or call her at (319) 415-8469
