Are you recently retired? Looking for a way to put your skills to good use? The Bedford Council on Aging AARP Tax Aid program is seeking volunteers to aid in filling out tax returns for seniors and helping them seek a refund. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is the nation’s largest volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance service. And we want you to join us.
Experience isn’t necessary; we’ll train you on the latest tax preparation forms and software. Flexible scheduling is available during daytime hours (Mon-Fri) from February to April. If you are interested please call the COA at 781-275-6825. For many, a tax refund could mean they won’t have to choose between paying for groceries and keeping the lights on.
- Who volunteers? People like you. And there’s a role for everyone.
- Good with numbers? Be a tax volunteer. You’ll work with taxpayers directly; filling out tax returns and helping them seek a refund. Experience isn’t necessary — we’ll train you on the latest tax preparation forms and software.
- Love working with people? Be a greeter. You’ll welcome taxpayers, help organize their paperwork and manage the overall flow of service.
- Want to help us get the word out? Be a communications coordinator. You’ll promote AARP Foundation Tax-Aide and recruit volunteers in your community.
- Have a knack for running things? Be a leadership or administrative volunteer. Manage volunteers, make sure program operations run smoothly, track volunteer assignments and site activities, and maintain quality control.
- Speak a second language? You’re urgently needed! We have a big demand for bilingual speakers. Dedicated translators who can assist our volunteers are also welcome. Get the joy and satisfaction of helping others by applying to join the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteer team today! Your expertise will be appreciated more than you can imagine.
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in conjunction with the IRS.
