JOIN THE OFFICE FOR THE AGING TAX TEAM

The Allegany County Office for the Aging is looking for volunteers to help people with their tax returns.  This is a great opportunity if you are looking for a way to help others in your community.  You do not need prior experience, and you will receive free tax law training to help prepare basic tax forms.

If you like working with numbers, have experience in filing your own tax returns, and have some free time during the months of January, February, March and April, we invite you to be part of our team.  The free training will be in Belmont on January 14, 16, 18, 22, 23, & 25, 2019.

In 2018, the Office for the Aging Tax Volunteers helped more than 360 people prepare and e-file their income tax returns and brought in over $200,000 in refunds. 

The Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program (TCE) offers free income tax assistance for low to moderate income Allegany County residents.  Volunteer Tax Counselors are trained and certified to help people who are 60 and over with federal, state and local returns.  The Office for the Aging partners with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide the TCE program.

If you are interested in joining the team of TCE volunteers, or if you would like more information, please call the Office for the Aging 268-9390 or toll-free 1-866-268-9390 and ask for Karen.
